Critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us, is proving to be a smash-hit for Sky UK with the first episode reaching over 3.05 million UK viewers, reflected in the 7-day cumulative audience figure. The Last Of Us marks Sky Atlantic’s second-biggest US drama debut, behind only House of the Dragon which launched last August.
With over three times as many viewers now having seen the first episode compared to the initial UK overnights, the 7-day cumulative figure for episode two is building into the millions. Last night’s heart-wrenching episode three which starred Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman exceeded episode two overnight ratings as viewing for the series continues to rise.
Zai Bennett MD of Content at Sky said: “With its standout episodes, the response to The Last of Us has been truly remarkable and the phenomenal viewing figures have shown just how infectious the series is.”
Renewed for a second season, The Last Of Us continues Monday 2am on Sky Atlantic and NOW in in the UK & Ireland. Sample episode one via Sky TV YouTube channel (18yrs+). Further episodes will be available via Sky or with a NOW Entertainment Membership .
