Meanwhile, season 3 is already in the works

The final episode of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us season 2 saw 💃✅a considerable drop in viewership on Sunday night compared to the season 1 finale.
The episode aired to 3.7 million viewers across allꦫ platforms, which is down 55% from the numbers achieved by its predecessor ꦯin March 2023 – around 8.2 million viewers (via ).
The episode's viewership is expected to grow in the upcoming days, however. According to HBO, a lot of viewers haven't been able to watch the finale due to holiday weekend plans, and they will be catching up soon. HBO also reminded fans that the franchise, which is based in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog's popular🧜 games🐽, has seen 90 million viewers since season 1 ended, with Season 2 gathering nearly 37 million global viewers per episode.
That means that, despite the viewership drop, the show's future is more than secured, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us season 3 already on the way.

The show's co-creator and writer Craig Mazin talked about that shocking ending in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a recent interview, and how the team thought it was important to take risks while adapti✅ng such a beloved video game. "We have to take risks as a television show, and HBO [has] to back us taking risks. But then again, we just did kill Pedro Pasc൩al. Like, they understand that this show is going to be a different show every season, which is a sort of a tricky thing to do when you're a hit show.
"You keep asking people like, 'I know you love this, we're taking it away and giving you this now,' and then, 'Oh, well, you know what? We actually really like this. Oh, th𒆙at's nice.' Now we're giving you this, because that's how the story works, 🐠right?"
