Last week’s premiere of “The Last of Us” was the second best premiere of an HBO series in more than a decade. The news now is that with its second episode it has grown so much that the chain’s executives have announced that it is the series whose audience has grown the most from the first to the second chapter in the entire history of HBO.
wow
Specifically, ‘Infected’ has added 5.7 million viewers during its premiere on the network, which means an increase of 22% compared to 4.7 million last week. It’s already unusual for a series to grow in viewership from the first to the second episode, but this growth is unheard of.
For example, ‘Game of Thrones’ dropped from the first to the second chapter -it went from 2.2 million viewers to 2 million, but from then on it gained momentum and by the end of the season it already exceeded 3 million-, while ‘The dragon house’ improved but not so much -from 9.98 million viewers to 10.2 million-. Little joke with what ‘The Lasf of Us’ has achieved.
In addition, it must be taken into account that the data from the opening night only represents a part of the total audience of the same -from the chain it is commented that it usually oscillates between 20 and 40%-. In the case of ‘The Last of Us’, the first episode has grown to 18 million viewers, almost four times its initial data…
What is clear is that ‘The Last of Us’ is sweeping and Now the question is knowing what your ceiling will be.
