It pretty much felt like the show was going to get a renewal as soon as we saw the success of the premiere episode, so the writing was on the wall with this one. We haven’t gotten any other official info…

The Last of Us will be getting a second season, HBO announced on Friday.There are no details about when we can expect season 2 or how many episodes it might be — HBO only accompanied the announcement with a brief video trailer — but now we know that there’s more of the show to come.So far, people have really, really liked The Last of Us; it brought 22 percent more viewers from the series premiere to episode two, which debuted last Sunday. There will be nine episodes in the first season, so there’s still quite a lot of…

A clicker on The Last Of Us.Image: HBOWe’re only two episodes into HBO’s adaptation of The Last Of Us but as the season goes on, one thing is going to become abundantly clear: there’s less action on the show than in the video game.This makes sense for a number of reasons. The big one is video games are an active experience. Players are making the action happen themselves and they’d much rather fight a zombie than walk down a street. Television, however, is a passive experience as the viewers let the story happen as they…

Time to learn more about Ellie, and the virus. Image: HBOThe second episode of The Last of Us was all about beginnings: the beginning of the viral outbreak that would basically end the world, and the beginning of Joel and Ellie’s story as the pair, along with Tess, set out into the open world of Boston. Helmed by Last of Us game director and series co-showrunner Neil Druckmann, it was a subtly video game-influenced episode that also added to the franchise’s mythology in some scary, fascinating ways.Before we could pick up…

The Last Of Us recorded impressive viewing figures for HBO on Sunday night (January 15).

HBO’s long-awaited adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us has finally made its television debut. Starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, the story follows a man who guides a teenage girl across the United States in the hopes of finding a cure for a fungal virus that has turned most of the world’s populace into flesh-eating zombies. Since the game is widely considered one of the best of all time, it is fitting that its TV series premiered to universal acclaim. Scoring a staggering 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Last…

If you enjoyed HBO's take on The Last of Us, you're far from alone. WarnerMedia has revealed that the video game adaptation racked up 4.7 million viewers on conventional and streaming TV for its January 15th premiere, making it HBO's third largest debut of the streaming era. Only the Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon rated higher with a crowd topping 9.9 million, and Boardwalk Empire's 4.81 million-viewer launch from 2010 (when HBO Go arrived) was only slightly stronger. The Last of Us "nearly doubled" the…

Image: HBOI love The Last of Us franchise. I’ve played all three games (which includes the DLC), been wholly engrossed by them, and that’s why I’m here to begin io9's recaps of the new HBO show. However, with a few exceptions, these recaps are going to be more focused on the show itself—a series of thoughts and observations based on how showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann chose to adapt that story for TV. Because let’s face it, the story has to work and be engaging for someone who doesn’t know anything about the…
