Another HBO record: Episode 4 of The Last of Us TV adaptation watched by 7.5 million viewers on the first day

The TV adaptation of The Last of Us has once again set a record for viewership. On the day of release, a record 7.5 million people have watched Episode 4. This is 17% more than the 6.4 million viewers who watched Episode 3.

Here's What We Know

What's interesting about this story is that Episode 4 was released during the broadcast of the 65th Grammy Awards, which attracted 12.4 million viewers. But despite this, a significant percentage of viewers decided to watch the HBO series.

It is also noted that The Last of Us has a more rapid audience growth trajectory than another popular HBO series, Dragonsong. At the time of the series premiere, 10 million viewers gathered around it, but after 3 episodes, this number decreased. That's why the TV adaptation of The Last of Us still has a chance to break this record, as there are 5 episodes ahead.

Flashback

The Episode 5 of the series will be released not on Sunday, as usual, but on Friday, February 10th. The show was postponed because the Super Bowl, the final match for the National Football League championship, will take place on Sunday. The rest of the episodes will be broadcast as usual on Sunday nights.
