When is the second episode of The Last Of Us available?
Each episode will air weekly following the premiere on January 15. In other words, the second episode will air on HBO in the US on January 22 at 9pm ET. Viewers in the UK can catch the second episode on Sky Atlantic on January 23 at 2am GMT.
Alongside Pascal and Ramsey, The Last Of Us stars Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman.
In a four-star review, NME wrote: “Gamers have been burned before by poorly conceived adaptations of their favourite titles, so they were naturally skeptical. But they needn’t have been. The Last Of Us lacks novel ideas, but when it’s this good it can get away with it.”
