Excitement was high for The Last of Us’ Season 2 HBO premiere on Sunday, so it should come as no major surprise that it enjoyed quite the viewership numbers on its first day.
As reported by Deadline, on Sunday, episode 1 of The Last of Us’ second season had over 5.3 million viewers in the US across all platforms that the show streamed on. That’s up from the Season 1 premiere in 2023 – which drew 4.7 million US viewers on day one – by 10 percent. The latter went on to amass over 32 million total viewers, so it should be interesting to see how Season 2’s debut fares.
Interestingly, Variety reports that viewership for Season 1 also increased by 150 percent in the week leading up to Season 2’s premiere.
The Last of Us Season 2 has six more episodes left, with the next coming on April 20. Check out a new trailer for the upcoming episodes through here. HBO has also officially greenlit a third season.
