The Last of Us Part 2 shifts its focus to put all its weight on Ellie, who will embark on a journey into the wild and unknown in search of Joel’s killer to avenge his death.

With its last episode, the series had the difficult task of competing with one of the year’s most anticipated events, the Academy Awards.

Via THR, it was revealed that throughout its first season, The Last of Us increased its audience episode after episode, and the outcome of this introduction to the story of Ellie and Joel reached 8.2 million viewers, surpassing the previous one with 8.1.

The series not only managed to beat out the Academy Awards but also another huge HBO hit: House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones spin-off.
