Fielding comparisons to Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings, the fantasy epic takes viewers on a new kind of journey based on Robert Jordan’s bestselling novels. With Episode 5, The Wheel of Time is more than halfway through its first season, and much of the story it has been setting up in the first four episodes is starting to play out in exciting ways.

With Rosamund Pike leading a group of charismatic new faces, The Wheel of Time is building up to a finale (and eventual second season) that fans are eager to watch. Until then, here is everything you need to know about The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 5, from its release date and time to its title and runtime.
