Episode 8 of The Last of Us drew an impressive 8.1 million viewers on Monday, on HBO and linear channels. This marks a 74% increase from the series that debuted in January — 4.7 million viewers — making episode 8, ‘When We Need It’, the most watched chapter, according to WarnerMedia. The numbers are based on Nielsen and first-party data and do not include details from Disney+ Hotstar, the Indian destination to watch The Last of Us. The previous record was held by episode 4, which attracted 7.5 million viewers. HBO does not disclose viewership data for episodes 5, 6, and 7 of The Last of Us.

EQUAL per HBO, Our last also the top title overall HBO Max for the eighth consecutive week, with all episodes ranked among the week’s top 10 personal assets. When watching the first five episodes, the average audience is almost 30 million across the whole HBO cable and HBO Max. By setting these records and conquering original PlayStation video game fans, creators Neil Druckmann And Craig Mazin managed to secure a second season in January, will focus on events from The Last of Us Part II — a polarizing and extremely bloody sequel that chases 19-year-old Ellie. The Last of Us was an instant success for HBO, with the pilot scoring the network’s second most viewed debut. first is Game of Thrones prequel series, Dragon House with almost 10 million viewers.

Our last then build on that achievement, achieve 5.7 million won viewers in episode 2, showing a 22% jump over pilot. Then it reached another milestone with 6.4 million won in episode 3 and 7.5 million won in the fourth chapter. There was a slight change after that, thanks to super bowl The LVII event caused HBO to air The Last of Us episode 5 two days early. Since then, no viewership numbers have been announced — until the latest episode was scrapped. The penultimate episode depicts Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in a more serious tone, drawing preacher David (Scott the Shepherd) and his group of cannibal survivors stay away from injured Joel. The episode also marks a pivotal moment in The Last of Us, where Joel (Pedro Pascal) developed an emotional attachment to Ellie — like a father-son relationship.

As the final episode of The Last of Us draws near, in the usual way, HBO drops a preview trailer for the same. In it, Joel and Ellie are seen approaching the Firefly camp in Salt Lake City, hoping to use their immunity to develop a cure for a fungal outbreak. The last time our duo went to the Firefly base, it was empty and Joel ended up getting stabbed by a raider. From the look of the final trailer, it looks like something sinister is taking shape, as we’re treated to an image of a grenade being thrown at them. The Last of Us episode 9 may well be the first (and last) we get to see Ashley JohnsonEllie’s voice actress in original gameappeared as the on-screen mother Anna.

In a recent time interview, actress Ramsey spoke briefly about the end of The Last of Us, saying, “It’s going to massively divide people — massively.” While not explicitly mentioned, this could mean that the show will be vastly different from video games, which may or may not please gamers. For what it’s worth, some of the changes are, in my opinion, the best part of the show.
