Given the limited information available about the forthcoming season, it’s possible that the appearance of these dates signals that Season 5’s episodes may be divided into parts, similar to how Season 4 was structured. Alternatively, the earlier dates in May and July could serve as slots for trailers or special previews, while the later October and December dates might be reserved for the actual episode releases.

These months align with the historical release pattern of previous seasons: Season 1 made its debut in July 2016, Season 2 followed in October 2017, and Season 3 premiered in July 2019. Season 4 continued the trend by being released in two parts during May and July of 2022.
