‘4 Blocks Zero’ Episode 3 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch the Hamadys Standing on Thin Ice
The wait for the next chapter of the Hamady family saga is almost over. ‘4 Blocks Zero’ premiered on HBO Max on September 25, 2026, and the eight episode series releases a new installment every Friday until the season finale on November 13. That weekly rhythm means fans of the German crime drama have another Friday fix coming.
Here is everything we know about the ‘4 Blocks Zero’ episode three release date, the release time, where to stream it and what the preview situation looks like so far. The show is a prequel to ‘4 Blocks’ set in 1990s Berlin. Only the first installment has aired, so there is plenty still to unpack.
‘4 Blocks Zero’ Episode 3 Release Date
The third episode is scheduled for October 9, 2026, one week after the second episode lands on October 2. The schedule follows the Friday pattern set at launch. That puts the third chapter squarely in the middle of the season’s early stretch.
The fourth episode follows on October 16, so viewers who want to keep pace should expect no gaps between now and mid October. The season is built for appointment viewing, which is a smart fit for a slow burn crime story where each week can shift the power balance a little further.
The finale is locked in for November 13, 2026. If the release plan holds, fans will spend about six more weeks with the family after the third chapter drops.
‘4 Blocks Zero’ Release Time and Where to Watch
The service has not published a separate release time for the third chapter that we could find. A German listing for the series put the premiere at 10 AM on September 25. Viewers should treat that as a guide for German audiences and check their local HBO Max listing on the day, since regional timing can vary.
The series streams on HBO Max, where a subscription is required. US viewers can also find it through the HBO Max Amazon Channel. The show is not listed on a wider range of platforms at the moment.
Streaming listings put the runtime at around 55 minutes. The first episode landed at the same length. That is a comfortable amount of time for a character driven crime drama.
‘4 Blocks Zero’ Episode 3 Preview and What Happened So Far
Official details are thin. The third episode’s title and runtime have not been announced, and no further specifics have been revealed. That means any plot talk right now is based on where the story has left off.
The premiere, called Welcome to Germany, followed Malik Hamady as he worked to establish his family in Berlin while his brother in law Ibrahim arrived with a deadly mission.
The overall premise has Ibrahim returning after eight years in prison, which pulls the family toward the city’s dangerous criminal underworld. The tension between a man trying to build something honest and a relative pulling him toward trouble is the engine of the season.
Given that setup, the next chapter is likely to push the family deeper into a world they cannot easily leave. That is speculation, so take it as a fan theory rather than an official tease until HBO Max shares more.
Meet the Cast Behind the Hamady Clan
Rami Fadel Khalaf leads as Malik, with Tareq Nassery playing the young Ali, Tariq Al-Saies as Ibrahim, Soufiane El Mesaudi as Abbas and Fatima Khanfour as the grandmother Hanin. Luis Vorbach appears as Vince Kerner, alongside Bella Dayne, Mark Waschke, Enno Trebs and Samir Salim. It is a mix of fresh faces and familiar names from German television.
Özgür Yildirim and Hüseyin Tabak directed the series. Yildirim also serves as an executive producer, and the show comes from W&B Television. That creative continuity matters for fans who loved the original run.
‘4 Blocks’ aired for three seasons between 2017 and 2019 and was compared to classics like ‘Gomorrah’ and ‘The Sopranos’. HBO Max has not announced a second season of ‘Zero’, so the story is still waiting on its verdict. With Malik and Ibrahim already at odds, do you think the young Ali will end up repeating his uncle’s mistakes or finding another path entirely.
