Where Is The Last Of Us Streaming?

In the ongoing streaming wars, heavy-hitting titles like The Last Of Us are a hot commodity among companies hoping to keep audiences subscribed to their platforms. Therefore, it is quite common for these projects to become exclusive to a single streaming service.

The Last of Us will have a simultaneous release on HBO and HBO Max, meaning that American viewers can choose to watch the series as it airs or online without any delay. Unfortunately for fans in countries outside of HBO Max's current regions, they will have to wait a bit longer for this action-packed series.

When Does The Last Of Us TV Series Come Out?

After years of development and many people asking when is The Last Of Us TV series coming out, fans can look forward to it finally hitting screens early next year. The Last Of Us tv series release date is Sunday, January 15th, 2023. The episode will air on HBO at 9:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, with the full episode also available on HBO Max simultaneously.

The series is inheriting the same coveted primetime slot that another popular HBO series, the Game of Thrones spinoff series House Of The Dragon enjoyed only a few months ago. The fact that The Last of Us is set to take over this slot proves that HBO has high hopes for the series, with the possibility of extending the video games' story into several seasons if the show proves to be popular enough with audiences.

How Many Episodes Is The Last Of Us Season 1?

The first season of The Last of Us has been confirmed to consist of nine episodes, each about an hour long. Unlike some other streaming services, most notably Netflix, HBO Max does not release entire seasons at once on the platform, but rather adheres to a more traditional weekly release schedule.

Therefore, viewers will get to tune in each Sunday night at 9 p.m. for new updates to the gripping story of The Last Of Us, with the finale expected to premiere on Sunday, March 12th, 2023, provided that there are no breaks in the season.

What Is The First Season Of The Last Of Us About?

The first season of the HBO The Last of Us TV series is widely expected to adapt the events of the first game, likely leaving off in the same place that the original game did in 2013.

Viewers unaware of the video game's storyline should know that the show takes place long after a zombie plague wiped out most of humanity. Amidst a rebuilding world, Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) comes across a young girl named Ellie (Bella Ramsey) who may just be the cure that humanity is waiting for. He embarks on a mission to bring her to a group of scientists -- but not all is as it seems.
