The Last of Us Season 2 achieves record viewers

The Last of Us TV series is back, with the first episode of season 2 airing over the weekend. The first season already had a ton of viewers and plenty of critical acclaim to go along with it. For the premier of season 2, it appears that records are being broken, with higher ratings than ever before. 

According to Deadline, The Last of Us season 2 has already surpassed the first season in viewers by as much as ten percent. 4.7 million people tuned into the first season's premier, and in just one day, the first episode of season 2 ballooned to 5.3 million viewers.

The Last of Us season 2 won't cover the full events of the second game. At this point, HBO is planning for at least one or two more seasons, after which the story will be considered ‘complete'.

Right now, there is limited source material available, as Naughty Dog has yet to even begin working on a third Last of Us game. With that in mind, we expect to see the series make some changes to certain events.
