Season 5 consists of six episodes, releasing weekly on Acorn TV exclusively. The first episode of the season, 'Sing Me a Deadly Song, Piano Man', is available now.
The synopsis for the season reads: "Joe Lando joins the most ambitious season yet as Pierce Kennedy, a charming and brilliant new state pathologist whose arrival quickly makes waves in Harry's world.
What to Read Next
"As Harry, Fergus and Charlie are pulled into their most dangerous and complex cases to date, the team takes on undercover operations, chilling murders and relentless criminals…all with the help of Pierce, whose sharp instincts and natural chemistry with Harry prove invaluable."
On IMDb, the show has an average user score of 7.2/10, with viewers praising the "distinct Irish approach" and the "more often than not... realistic" dialogue, although some thought the swearing was "unnecessarily vulgar" and that there was "excessive drinking" portrayed.

Acorn TV requires a subscription at £4.99/month, but it does offer a 7-day free trial.
If the idea of the show sounds intriguing but you don't fancy paying, you could wait until all six episodes are out (or at least a day after episode 5 has dropped) and grab your trial then.
And to make that wait easier, you can watch the first four seasons completely free on two different streaming services: Channel 4 and U.
Harry Wild season 5 is dropping new episodes every Monday on Acorn TV. Previous seasons are available on Acorn TV, Channel 4, and U.
