What time is Masters of the Air out?

Masters of the Air, the third WW2 series from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, is nearly here – so, here’s exactly what time it’ll drop on Apple TV+.

The golden age of television may have begun in 1999 with The Sopranos, but the turn of the millennium marked the release of one of the most important shows of all time: Band of Brothers, exploring the heroic exploits of “Easy” Company in Europe in the Second World War. Nine years later, we got The Pacific, taking the wartime lens to the Pacific theater of operations through the experiences of three Marines.

After more than a decade of development, the third entry in the trilogy is about to be released: Masters of the Air. The new series, based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, follows the notorious “Bloody Hundredth”, a bombardment group in the 8th Air Force that earned its namesake from near-constant death with every bombing mission.

Unlike its predecessors, Masters of the Air is streaming on Apple TV+, so here’s what time you can start watching.

Masters of the Air release time

Masters of the Air will premiere on Apple TV+ at 12am ET on Friday, January 26.

We have a bit of bad news though: only the first two episodes will be available to stream, with the rest dropping weekly thereafter. You can find out the full release schedule here.

The official synopsis reads: “Masters of the Air follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air.

“Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of Masters of the Air. Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.”
