You can find the Top 10 most streamed movies and shows according to Nielsen below. Episode 8, the most recent one in the series, had 8.1 million viewers, an increase of 74% compared to the series premiere just weeks prior. Taking that into account, HBO's series being streamed over a billion minutes with 1/7 the amount of episodes is yet another sign that the series has been a huge hit.Įver since The Last of Us premiered on HBO it has shown remarkable, even record setting, viewership. We hear what people are saying we didn’t realise that ourselves, because we just try to push for the characters that we want. The Last of Us director Bruce Straley: 'the likenesses are a complete coincidence. By comparison, The Last of Us had only released five episodes to that point, just over half of its first season in total. Some of you think Ellie was modeled after Ellen Page, heres the facts. This also seems to have the unintended effect of making Joel and Ellie look like their sequel character models, making them appear older in a setting that is a few years before the events of Part 2. Though most of the viewership was likely from fans watching the new season, a fresh batch of content always spurs interest from new viewers to start the series from the beginning, to catch up. The Last of Us remake seems to have more in common visually with The Last of Us Part 2, which makes sense given their release date proximity. When these numbers were tallied, You had 35 episodes available to watch on Netflix. There's also the matter of episode count that can inflate the metrics. Knowing that, these numbers for The Last of Us are exclusively for its viewership on HBO Max and not HBO subscribers on cable. First, Nielsen's data comes exclusively from streaming on televisions, which means it doesn't count computers or mobile devices in its numbers, it also doesn't tally the linear cable viewers in the same charts. Early reports suggest that HBO wants to be faithful to the video game, making Ellie a lesbian in the series like she is the games.Now, does this paint a picture of Netflix's hit series being more popular than The Last of Us? When you look at how Nielsen collects their data though it shows a different story entirely. The Last of Us has a complex plot that an extended series has ample time to explore, including fleshing out Ellie's character. Neil Druckmann, Naughty Dog’s creative director, will also be involved in the production and script of the HBO series, and likely he will want an actress capable of translating Ellie's nuances from the game into the TV series.īecause the pandemic started six years before she was even born, the actress cast as Ellie in any The Last of Us adaptation will face the challenge of embodying a character who was completely raised in a post-apocalyptic world - someone who is definitely a fighter, but is also haunted by survivor guilt. She’s a strong female character, someone who doesn’t need to be saved in the conventional sense, but also someone with a constant inner conflict about her ways. She presents a possible breakthrough in the development of a cure for the fungus because she seems to be immune to its effect. Ellie is with the player for the majority of the gameplay in The Last of Us. Ellie is a teenage girl born in a world where most humans have turned into hostile creatures known as The Infected by a mutated strain of the (real-life) Cordyceps fungus. She is left under Joel’s care by a rebel group called the Fireflies.
