Update from November 3, 2022: The release date of The Last of Us has hardly been leaked when HBO sends the official confirmation afterwards. With a poster for the TV series, the start of the nine-episode season for January 15, 2023 has now been announced.
You’re wondering what that means for the release in Europey? Sky was not long in coming and also revealed that The Last of Us will start in Europey on the night of January 16, 2023. Europe viewers can watch the HBO TV series exclusively on the streaming service – there will most likely not be a release from other providers such as Netflix or Amazon.

Original message: When does The Last of Us series start? According to a new leak, which we owe to HBO personally, it will probably be on January 15, 2023. The information leaked through the TV station’s in-house app – like several news portals (e.g VGC and GameSpot) to report.
Plus, there’s another clue that The Last of Us’ potential release wasn’t just a placeholder: UK has aloud IGN the streaming service Sky has already sent out new promotional material, in the course of which January 16, 2023 is listed as the start date. And that always works with the different time zones in which the USA and England are located.
So fans probably won’t have to wait too long until The Last of Us on January 15 or 16, 2022 starts. In Europey, the series adaptation of the game by Naughty Dog and Sony will be broadcast exclusively via Sky.
