The Last of Us Season 1 Episode 8 sets a new viewership record!

The Last of Us is the new cash cow of HBO. Deemed one of the best video game adaptations to date, each episode has ramped up the intensity and excitement. Both the critics and the viewers are highly impressed by the quality of sceneries, storylines, costumes, and zombie makeup, all of which have contributed to the show’s incredibly high viewership numbers.

How many views did The Last of Us episode 8 get?

There’s no doubt that The Last of Us has been highly successful so far, but what makes it even more special is that HBO itself came forward to announce the new record set by the series. According to the pressroom report, the eighth episode was watched by a staggering 8.1 million people on Sunday night. That number includes both linear viewing and streaming on HBO Max. These numbers are even higher than the premiere, with a 74% increase over the pilot.

When does The Last of Us Season 2 begin filming?

In a recent interview with Collider, Pascal said, “In the year 2023? Oh, what season are we in now? We’re getting into spring? Yes, there is a chance. Yes.” The first season of The Last of Us took around 18 months to film. So, looking at the time gap, there’s a high probability that the second season won’t be here until 2025.

When does The Last of Us Season 1 finale air?

The Last of Us Episode 9 titled “Look for the Light,” is the conclusion to season 1. The finale will air next Sunday, March 12 at 9:00 p.m. EST.
