The Last of Us
HBO's biggest debut since 2010. Episode 3 broke the internet.
The Last of Us set a new standard for video game adaptations, achieving HBO's most-watched debut since 2010 with 8.2 million viewers for its premiere. Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann adapted the beloved PlayStation game into a post-apocalyptic road trip that found its emotional center in episode three—Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett's standalone love story, which became the most-discussed single episode of 2023 with over 5 million tweets. It outperforms #7 Bridgerton in per-episode social buzz by 15%, proving that prestige television can emerge from interactive media and shatter the 20-year curse of failed game-to-screen projects.
