The potential release date for season 6 is yet to be confirmed by the FX network. But on the bright side, it is speculated that the upcoming season will not be delayed and can be released sooner than the viewers might be anticipating. However, without an official confirmation, we cannot predict the release date for season 5.
The second and third seasons were released on April 15, 2020, and September 2, 2021. That said, it is somewhat difficult to predict the exact release date for season 5 as the fourth edition hasn’t even been released yet. It is ready to make its debut on July 12, 2022, with 10 episodes.
