Picking up after the incendiary events of both season 4 and the spinoff film The Immortal, season 5 begins with Genny in hiding from the police and cut off from Azzurra and Pietrino as Naples smoulders.

However, the revelation of Ciro's secret existence in Riga forces Genny to ally with 'O Maestrale, the crime boss of Ponticelli, who's had two decades behind bars to plot his own form of retribution.

But alliances aren't set in stone, and with ultimate control at stake, loyalties will be tried and traded for the right price.

Ciccio, Saro and Grazia Levante must all meet the same fate as Patrizia and Gerlando too, but with Ciro gathering his own forces, the fate of the city is on a knife-edge.

All 10 episodes of Gomorrah season 5 are being released in the US on streaming service HBO Max, on Thursday, January 27.

If you're not already a HBO Max subscriber and you're curious about the service, the first thing to know is there are two HBO Max price points - $9.99 a month with commercials, or the 4K HDR, commercial-free subscription at $14.99 that also brings 4K streams and Dolby Atmos sound.

But HBO Max has launched a limited-time 20% off sale! That means if you sign up before January 25, you can get HBO Max for as little as $7.99 per month.

That's a bargain price, considering you'll get access to a huge library of top-drawer entertainment, including And Just Like That, the entirety of Sex and the City, Succession, Girls, Mare of Easttown, The Matrix Resurrections and much more.

The 7-day HBO Max free trial has long since been discontinued. But, if you're a current HBO Now subscriber or pay for HBO through your cable provider, you might actually be entitled to HBO Max at no extra cost.

Devices compatible with HBO Max include iPhone and Android devices, Apple and Samsung TVs, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, Chromecast and Chromebooks, and laptops and PCS. HBO Max on Roku and Amazon Fire Stick is also available.
