Season 5 of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs is set to begin airing on both the Shudder streaming service and AMC+ TV on April 21st – and this season is going to be split into two batches of five episodes. So we’ll be seeing new episodes every Friday from April 21st through May 19th, then the show will go on a brief hiatus before we get five more episodes later in the year. (Starting in mid-June.) But while we wait for confirmation on all of that, Shudder has released a trailer for the season, which you can check out in the embed above, and has also unveiled some poster art, which you can examine at the bottom of this article.
Following the live airings on Fridays, fans will be able to watch the episodes on demand on Shudder and AMC+ beginning on the Sunday of that weekend.
Joe Bob has previously tweeted the following:
April 21: Season 5 Launch Party!
April 28: Walpurgisnacht Part 2!
May 5: Cinco de F*cking Mayo!
May 12: Mama’s Day!
May 19: Dysfunctional Family Jubilee!
. . . and that’s only the beginning.
