“The Last of Us” has been an undeniable hit for HBO since its premiere in January. Based on a popular video game franchise, the series has been making headlines with its compelling storyline and impressive ratings.

In fact, the penultimate episode of the first season, “When We Are in Need,” drew the largest audience yet, with over 8.1 million viewers tuning in across all platforms on Sunday. This is a significant increase of 74% compared to the show’s premiere earlier this year.

HBO reports that the first five episodes of the series are “approaching” an average of 30 million viewers. If these numbers hold through the remainder of the season, “The Last of Us” will surpass the ratings of “House of the Dragon,” a Game of Thrones prequel that premiered last year and had 29 million viewers during its first season.

The success of “The Last of Us” has not gone unnoticed by HBO, which has quickly renewed the show for a second season following its strong start. The show’s excellent storytelling and top-notch production quality have won over viewers around the world and cemented its place as one of the most compelling new series on television.

As the season finale draws near on March 12th, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s to come. With its success so far, it seems that “The Last of Us” is poised to continue making waves in the world of television and may become a long-running hit for HBO.
