It was confirmed that The Last of Us TV series release date is down for 2023, at least according to HBO Max, but with 2022 drawing to a close fans are undoubtedly hoping for a more solid date. Has The Last of Us HBO Max series release date leaked or will fans still have to stumble about in the dark for a while?
What is The Last of Us TV series release date and time on HBO Max?
The Last of Us TV show on HBO Max will release on January 15, 2023, it has been confirmed. Today saw the official announcement, after a leak from the HBO Max app earlier this week. Apparently, the show’s launch date accidentally got added to a brief sneak peek on the app, and before it was taken down it was spotted by fans and shared online.
Now, WarnerMedia has confirmed the news, and said that the nine-episode first season of the HBO Original will debut on Sunday, January 15, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO, and will be available to stream in 4K on HBO Max. This allows fans of HBO’s current major series, The White Lotus, to enjoy a bit of breathing room across the festive period, before sinking their teeth into this post-apocalyptic drama.
The Last of Us TV show’s teaser trailer was revealed in September and drew acclaim from fans by accurately reflecting the look and mood of the game series, but it’s also a good trailer to bring in people who aren’t interested in the games too. The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie looked particularly good in their parts.
The recent release of The Last of Us Part 1 remake on PS5 hasn’t even hit PC yet, despite being confirmed a long time ago, so the HBO Max series may make it out before the game’s PC debut. Stay tuned, and we’ll keep you updated with the latest.
