After double cliffhangers in the recent finale, fans may be left wondering how the show goes on. The answer could come from the games

Season 2 of The Last of Us concluded Sunday night with an audience of 3.7M cross-platform viewers in the U.S., per HBO.

HBO's The Last of Us series just wrapped up its second season, and viewership across all platforms for the finale reached 3.7 million people. That's down 30% from the 5.3 million viewers for the Season 2 premiere in April ( via Variety) and down 55% from the 8.2 million viewers for the Season 1 finale in 2023.

The finale to Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us was watched by half of the people who tuned in to watch the conclusion to Season 1.

The Last of Us season 2 episode 7 picks up right from the end of episode 5, following on from the flashback episode where we learned what really went down with Joel and Ellie in the years between season 1 and season 2.

The Last of Us season two had a quiet send-off Sunday night. In a stark comparison to its season one finale, the second season of the hit HBO series only managed to score 3.7 million cross-platform viewers for its final episode on Sunday.

Bella Ramsey’s Ellie doesn’t have the pure sense of rage that Ashley Johnson’s Ellie has, and some of it isn’t their fault. Show Ellie is far less villanous than game Ellie.

Season 2 adapts only the first portion of “The Last of Us Part II,” ending on a major cliffhanger that leaves much of the game’s narrative still to be explored. With HBO confirming the show’s renewal and even teasing the possibility of a fourth season, the adaptation is clearly far from over.

Seriously! How else do you define going right from the culturally dominant force that was The White Lotus season 3 into the much-awaited second season of The Last of Us, which was, oh, that's right—just its own culturally dominant force when its first season debuted back in 2023?
