Episode 1 of HBO’s The Last of Us TV adaptation has been made available to stream in its entirety free on YouTube ahead of Episode 3 releasing this Sunday.
As spotted by VGC, the almost 120 minute-long episode was uploaded to the YouTube channel of Sky TV (where the show is available in the UK) and will likely soon be uploaded to HBO’s YouTube too.
HBO pulled a similar move in September by uploading the first episode of Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon to YouTube, though that was later removed for those outside of the U.S.
The adaptation of The Last of Us became the second most successful debut for HBO in the last decade when it premiered earlier this month, bringing in 4.7 million viewers across linear TV and HBO Max.
The third instalment will see the debut of Nick Offerman’s as he takes up the role of the survivalist Bill – a character that fans of the 2013 game will be more than a little familiar with.
The success also led star Bella Ramsey to say that a second season of the show is ‘likely’ to go ahead if audience numbers continue to remain strong.
