The Fourth Episode Of HBO’s The Last Of Us Was Its Most Watched Yet

The TV adaptation is going from strength to strength.

HBO has yet again reported some incredible numbers for the debut of a new episode of its The Last of Us TV adaptation.

The fourth episode, titled Take My Hand, debuted on Monday and pulled in 7.5 million viewers in the US, a 17% increase on the previous week’s incredible episode and a whopping 60% up on the series’ debut.

HBO also announced that the next episode of its TV adaptation of The Last of Us will premiere earlier than expected.

Instead of the usual Monday, 1PM AEDT time, the fifth episode of The Last of Us is scheduled to drop on Saturday, February 11th in the same 1PM AEDT slot.

You can see a teaser of the fifth episode below:

The Last of Us has completely captured audiences since its debut, posting some incredible early numbers and dominating conversations with its spectacular third episode. We’ve seen the series in full and you can read our spoiler-free review of the entire nine-episode run here.
