The TV adaptation of The Last of Us, once again, set a record in views. On the day of release, the fourth episode was watched by a record 7.5 million people. This is 17% more than the 6.4 million viewers who watched Episode 3.

What else is known

What’s interesting about this story is that episode 4 aired during the broadcast of the 65th Grammy Awards, which drew 12.4 million viewers. But despite this, a significant percentage of viewers decided to still watch the HBO series.

The Last of Us is also said to have a faster audience growth trajectory than another popular HBO series, House of the Dragon. Then the premiere of the series gathered around 10 million viewers, but after the 3rd series, this number decreased. Therefore, the television adaptation of The Last of Us still has every chance to break this record, because we have 5 episodes ahead of us.

For those who are not in the know

Fifth episode of the series will come out not on Sunday, as usual, but on Friday, February 10th. The show was postponed due to the Super Bowl, the final match for the title of champion of the National Football League, taking place on Sunday. The rest of the episodes will air as usual on Sunday night.
