There were reportedly 5.3 million people in the US who watched the Season 2 premiere of The Last of Us. That same-day viewership tops Season 1's debut night over two years ago, which saw 4.7 million people checking out the HBO series.According to Deadline, HBO noted that the 5.3 million same-day viewers for The Last of Us Season 2 premiere represents a 10% increase over Season 1. The debut episode of the show--which is based on Naughty Dog's video game franchise--has now been seen by 32 million people. That's apparently the most ever for an HBO and Max series premiere. In 2023, The Last of Us saw the second-biggest debut on HBO since 2010 when Boardwalk Empire launched.
