It looks like HBO doesn't want to compete with the Super Bowl this Sunday. The Last of Us episode 5 will premiere two days earlier on HBO Max on Friday, February 10 at 9 p.m. ET. In Canada, Bell's Crave streaming service will also debut the episode on the same day and time. But then the remaining four episodes will come out on Sundays again, with the season finale coming out on March 12.

The TV adaptation of the popular game series The Last of Us has been confirmed for a second season. Co-creator (and writer of the games) Neil Druckmann thanked the cast and crew behind the show alongside the viewers who've engaged with it so far. "I’m humbled, honoured, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey," he said in a statement.

Since the first season is still ongoing, we can expect a bit of a wait. But at least if you've gotten hooked so far, you can expect another season of the show. The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) as Ellie. Joel needs to escort Ellie across mid-America to a military resistance group called the Fireflies. She's seen as the last hope for humans as a fungal-based infection has ravaged the planet and turned humans into zombie-like creatures.

We finally have a release day for HBO's adaptation of the video game franchise The Last of Us. It's coming to HBO Max on January 15. In Canada, Bell's Crave service will stream the series on day one. The show tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two people living in a world devastated by the outbreak of a deadly fungus that mutates the infected into terrifying monsters. 

The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) as Joel and Ellie. Merle Dandridge reprises her role as Marlene and Nick Offerman will be the survivalist Bill. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who plays Joel and Ellie from the games, also star in the show but in unannounced roles.

HBO drops first trailer of 'The Last of Us' adaptation

HBO is finally ready to show a bit more of its adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game, The Last of Us. The series stars The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal as Joel and Game of Thrones's Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Similar to the games, the show tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two people living in a world devastated by the outbreak of a deadly fungus that mutates the infected into terrifying monsters. 

If this first full-length trailer is any indication, the story understandably focuses on Joel and Ellie instead of the monsters themselves. The trailer is leaving us intrigued, and we can't wait to see it when HBO debuts the show in 2023.
