What is the release date for Half Man episode 3 on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer?

HBO Max BBC iPlayer HBO Ruben

Young Ruben looks at something offscreen.

We're two episodes of Half Man down, and the brothers' introduction to university life has been as horrific as humanly possible.

We're following brothers Niall (Jamie Bell) and Ruben (Gadd) through 30 years of their lives, exploring the highs and lows of their turbulent relationship. Frankly, "lows" is putting things politely.

Expect another time jump to take place this week, but when will Half Man episode 3 be released on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer?

What time can I watch Half Man episode 3 on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer?

Let's take the HBO Max schedule first. Half Man episode 3 hits HBO Max on May 7, 2026.

While exact timings haven't been specified, we can assume the following from shows such as Hacks and The Pitt:

US – 6pm PT / 9pm ET
Canada – 6pm PT / 9pm ET
India – Friday, May 8 at 6:30am IST
Singapore – Friday, May 8 at 9am SGT
