We have officially hit the halfway point of new Star Wars show Skeleton Crew with the adventure in a galaxy far, far away now in full swing. So now you may be wondering when is episode 5 airing, keen to reunite with Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Wim), Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Fern), Kyriana Kratter (KB), Robert Timothy Smith (Neel), and co. as soon as possible.
And we don't blame you. The fourth instalment of the new Disney Plus series was a particularly exciting chapter as the gang used Kh'ymm's coordinates in an attempt to return to their home planet of At Attin. Of course though, what they saw upon arrival wasn't what they were expecting at all..
As with all Disney Plus shows, the new Star Wars series didn't drop all of its episodes at once, instead releasing them weekly – and this is where it gets a bit complicated as that's true for the most part... While the streaming service used to release its new shows at a set time, the latest few releases have shifted around a bit. So, if you're a little bit confused about when and how you'll be able to stream Skeleton Crew, you're in the right place. Below we take you through all the details, from release time to how many episodes there are.
While you're here, check out our guide to all the upcoming Star Wars movies and shows on the way.
