The comeback of “The Last of Us” drew a larger viewership compared to its initial series debut two years back, yet it didn’t reach the same scale as where season one concluded.
On Sunday evening, a total of 5.3 million viewers tuned in to watch the premiere of season two of the HBO drama, taking into account both its initial broadcast, re-runs, and streaming on Max.
Compared to the series debut in January 2023 with 4.7 million night one viewers, there’s been a significant boost of 13% for the latest episode. The number of viewers for the entire first season gradually increased from episode to episode, peaking at 8.2 million for the finale on its first night. Over the course of the nine episodes, the season attracted more than 32 million viewers per episode in total (HBO records series viewership for 90 days following a season premiere).
On Sunday, the viewership was remarkably strong compared to other recent HBO debuts. In fact, it surpassed the premiere audience of season three of “The White Lotus” by more than double, which drew 2.4 million viewers in February. Interestingly, it took four days for the premiere of “The Penguin” to match the number of viewers that “The Last of Us” had on Sunday. The season two premiere of “House of the Dragon” currently holds the record for the highest viewership among recent HBO season premieres with 7.8 million first-night viewers in June 2024.
As a passionate gamer, I couldn’t help but notice the surge in interest for “The Last of Us” season one on Max in the days running up to the season two debut. In fact, viewership on Max skyrocketed by an incredible 150% last week compared to the previous seven days! HBO didn’t disclose exact numbers, but it’s safe to say that the anticipation for the new season is at an all-time high among gamers like myself.
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that HBO has greenlit a third season for the series, which is inspired by the blockbuster video game. Just like us fans, seasons two (and presumably three) delve into the captivating world of The Last of Us Part II.
