Second season of "The Last of Us" teased in new HBO showcase
HBO published a video online showcasing the biggest TV series productions dedicated to the Max streaming platform. Among the previews were clips from the second season of "The Last of Us".
Video game adaptations did not have a good reputation. Most film productions inspired by popular games are best avoided. Unfortunately, there haven't been many exceptions. However, when HBO picked up the game "The Last of Us," it was apparent from the start that it could be a groundbreaking production. And it was.
"The Last of Us" was hailed as one of the most significant television events of the past year. On Rotten Tomatoes, it garnered as many as 96 percent positive reviews from critics and 88 percent from viewers. The series received three Golden Globe nominations, eight Emmy awards, and the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film of 2023. Critics emphasized that "The Last of Us" is not a production aimed only at video game enthusiasts.
Viewer interest in "The Last of Us" was enormous. In the United States, there were significant problems watching the premiere episode. On the day of the premiere, users encountered errors on their screens. DownDetector stated that "HBO Max couldn't fully handle the server load."
Clips from the second season of "The Last of Us" appeared in a video showcasing the most exciting HBO TV productions for the coming months. The release date of the new episodes of "The Last of Us" is not yet known, but the series will appear on HBO and the Max platform next year.
