TheLastOfUs' episode 4 viewership hits another new high for the HBO series despite some big competition from the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
The Last of Us episode 4 viewership hits another series high. Since premiering last month, the television adaptation of Naughty Dog's acclaimed post-apocalyptic video game has proven to be HBO's next prestige series and true appointment TV. Shortly after its record-breaking premiere, The Last of Us season 2 was promptly renewed by HBO, solidifying its place on the premium cable channel.
Now, The Last of Us episode 4 has set yet another series high in viewership. On Sunday, a total of 7.5 million viewers tuned into the fourth episode on HBO and HBO Max, as confirmed by the network and streaming service. This impressive total is a 17 percent increase from The Last of Us episode 3, which set a previous series high in viewership and received widespread acclaim.
The Last of Us episode 4, which returns to Joel and Ellie's story and introduces several new characters, has now set another series high in viewership despite going head-to-head with the 65th annual Grammy Awards. The CBS telecast was watched by a total of 12.4 million viewers, which wasn't enough to stop the post-apocalyptic show's audience from growing. The Last of Us viewership has now grown every week since its premiere, proving it has remarkable staying power.
While The Last of Us' viewership has kept growing despite some big competition, it won't even attempt to go head-to-head with the Super Bowl, the most-watched television event of the year. To avoid competition with the big game, The Last of Us episode 5 has moved up from its usual Sunday night time slot to Friday. It will be interesting to see if the HBO show can continue to grow its audience with the time change.
