Where to watch Insecure season 5 online

Insecure season 5 is set to premiere on HBO on Sunday, October 24 at 10pm ET/PT, with new episodes airing weekly at the same time from then on. 

HBO is available via most cable packages, but for those who don't want to be tied down by that sort of commitment, you can watch Insecure season 5 exclusively on streaming service HBO Max. 

The service comes in two options - the $9.99 a month ‘With Ads’ plan, and the ‘Ad-Free’ $14.99 option. As well as Insecure, you’ll get access to a huge library of top-drawer content with both: revered HBO shows like Game of Thrones, Flight of the Conchords, Euphoria and The Wire, a richly curated selection of titles from Turner Classic Movies, plus iconic films and TV series from Warner Brothers’ 100-year library.

What you won’t get unless you opt for the ‘Ad-Free’ plan, however, are Warner Brothers 2021 movie releases, available on HBO Max day-and-date with their cinema release, for a month from their debut. By paying $14.99 a month, you can experience the excitement of opening night from home, with the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark and Dune currently available to stream in 4K Ultra HD and with Dolby Atmos sound. But, if you’re not impressed by the service, you can cancel whenever you like.

The 7-day HBO Max free trial has long since been discontinued. But, if you're a current HBO Now subscriber or pay for HBO through your cable provider, you might actually be entitled to HBO Max at no extra cost.

Devices compatible with HBO Max include iPhone and Android devices, Apple and Samsung TVs, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, Chromecast and Chromebooks, and laptops and PCS. HBO Max on Roku and Amazon Fire Stick is also available.

Those in Canada can watch Insecure season 5 at the same time as the US with a subscription to Crave. New episodes will arrive from Sunday, October 24, with a new episode dropping weekly on the streaming platform.

You’ll need to opt for the Movies + HBO subscription to stream this final series, which will cost CND$19.98 (plus tax) a month. But first you can enjoy Crave's 7-day free trial, available to new subscribers.

On top of Crave Originals, hit TV shows, classic HBO content and blockbuster films, this membership provides access to the latest HBO Max titles and Hollywood movies concurrent with their US release, such as Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Genera+ion. Plus, you can revisit all six seasons of Gossip Girl circa 2007 for a little nostalgic comfort-viewing.

Insecure season 5 starts in the UK on Tuesday, October 26 on Sky Comedy at 2am BST and the more convenient time of 9pm BST later that evening.

That means you'll be able to watch it on Sky Go, too. And, for those who aren't already subscribed to Sky, there are plenty of Sky TV deals and packages that might just take your fancy.

Alternatively, your other option is to grab a Now Entertainment membership, which costs £9.99 a month and comes with a 7-day free trial.

New episodes of Insecure season 5 will arrive at pretty much the same time Down Under that they air in the US. In this case, that means dropping on streaming service Binge every Monday from October 25.

From only AU$10 a month, it’s a highly affordable VOD service, and new members are entitled to a generous 14-day free trial, meaning that you won’t pay a thing until the trial period ends. The Basic plan provides a single stream in SD quality, and you can upgrade to Standard and Premium plans if you want additional streams and better video quality.

You also have the option of Foxtel and its streaming service Foxtel Now, which offers more of a full package, cable-like experience. Boasting 70+ channels and a 10-day free trial, get the Foxtel Now Essentials Base pack and pay just $25 a month to watch Insecure.

Once subscribed, you’ll get access to 10,000 hours of content: reality shows, dramas, comedies and documentaries including Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Big Little Lies, Modern Family, Mayans, and all 6 seasons of the 2007-2012 run of Gossip Girl. It also offers more than 800 movies, and content from HBO, FX, and Warner Bros.
