After over two years of anxious waiting and the occasional infected tease HBOsThe Last ofUsreturned with a bang.

That marks a13% increasefrom its already impressive series debut back in January 2023.

Layman’s terms: the show that was a hit is now an even bigger hit.

And much like theCordyceps virus outbreakshown in the show,The Last of Usonly grew from there.

Season 1 saw consistent week-over-week gains, culminating in a finale that pulled in athen-series-high 8.2 million viewers.

We can only imagine Episode 1 ofSeason 2will approach those sorts of numbers.
