The Last of Us" saw an increase in viewers.


 The third episode of "The Last of Us" saw an increase in viewers.



According to HBO, four of its current series have garnered more than 15 million viewers during their tenure.


Another week of ratings growth was given by The Last of Us' third episode on HBO.


Cross-platform audience for the episode on Sunday was 6.4 million, up from 5.7 million the week before and 4.7 million for the show's January 15 launch. Despite the episode premiering during the highly anticipated AFC Championship game on CBS, there was an increase in viewers on Sunday.


HBO also reports that The Last of Us and four other of its current series averaged more than 15 million viewers each during their most recent seasons.

The creators of "The Last of Us" explain the heartbreaking twists and game changes in episode three.

The third instalment of The Last of Us diverged from the primary characters Joel and Ellie (Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey) to focus on Bill and Frank (Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett), who have been dating for 20 years while the rest of the world is falling apart. The episode, according to Bartlett, contains "these extraordinarily sweet and authentic human scenes in the middle of this horrific world."

Four of HBO's current series have reportedly drawn more than 15 million viewers throughout the course of their seasons.

HBO reports that the first two episodes of the series have received an average of 21.3 million views across all platforms, with a large portion of those views coming from HBO Max streaming (HBO doesn't provide specific streaming data, but with a first-night on-air audience of only about 610,000 people, the math tilts heavily toward streaming). The Last of Us has already received a second season renewal from HBO.


It is the first time HBO has had that many shows across all genres generate viewership of that scale. The drama joins season one of House of the Dragon (29 million viewers), the most recent seasons of Euphoria (19.5 million), and The White Lotus (15.5 million) in that category.

The fourth season of The Sopranos, in contrast, drew in an estimated 18.2 million people per episode in its pre-streaming peak of 2002. (including delayed and on-demand viewing). Sex and the City's fifth season averaged 13.8 million viewers in the same year as Six Feet Under's second season, which averaged 12.1 million.

The soundtrack from "The Last of Us" becomes an instant hit.

The popularity of Linda Ronstadt's song "Long Long Time Up" increased.


The Last of Us' most recent episode, HBO's #1 programme, helped Linda Ronstadt's Long Long Time climb the streaming charts.


Following the show, the 1970s song saw a startling increase in streaming numbers, rising by a factor of 4900%, according to Variety.



Between sequences between survivors Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett) and later scenes with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie, the song played twice in the episode (Bella Ramsey).


On the advice of his buddy Seth Rudetsky, executive producer and director Craig Mazin chose to add the song.

The director added in a statement to Variety, "I knew the song needed to touch certain elements about longing and aching and constantly unrequited love." "For the life of me, I couldn't locate the proper tune.


I tried and tried before sending a text to my brilliant friend Seth Rudetsky, the Sirius XM on Broadway broadcaster. I said, "Here's everything I need," and he replied, "Linda Ronstadt, "Long, Long Time," two seconds later." I thought, "There it is." That's all!


Written by Gary White and included on the Silk Purse album by Ronstadt. The song peaked at No. 25 and spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 list.

When The Last of Us was first released in 2013, there were plenty of takes. The HBO TV adaptation has followed the same pattern. It has generated both extravagant praise, contemptuous dismissals, and everything in between. It has been compared to a large EpiPen of stimulus for the take economy in the middle of winter. The worst take of all, though, didn't exist until today.

 Lulu Cheng Meservey, executive vice president of corporate affairs and chief communications officer at Activision Blizzard, tweeted, "Did you see last night's episode of The Last of Us? It was astounding. A tacky discussion about how The Last of Us TV show indicates Microsoft should be allowed to acquire the company for $69 billion was what came after the recently recruited serial poster from the Call of Duty publisher.

FIFA World Cup 2022: In yet another unexpected outcome, Japan shockingly upsets four-time champions Germany 2-1.

 Kou Itakura of Japan joins Takehiro Tomiyasu and Daniel Yabuki in jubilation following the World Cup match between Germany and Japan on November 23 at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The Reuters Japan did the same, fending off Germany's ferocious attempts to salvage a point from the Group 'E' opener for both teams on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Saudi Arabia lit up the FIFA World Cup with a shocking upset of Argentina. Takuma Asano eliminated Nico Schlotterbeck from the equation with a first touch for the ages after getting the ball wide out on the right from a free kick in his own area. Asano continued to run with the goal in his sights, but the shooting angle was getting more congested. For Asano to defeat Manuel Neuer, a monster shot was required. Asano, who came on as a replacement just before the hour mark, accomplished that. The ball made a clean connection with the goalie before crashing into the net's ceiling and bringing down the Khalifa S...
