If it wasn’t apparent already, HBO’s The Final of Us has been extremely profitable, a lot in order that it is really Max’s second most watched present.
Whether or not you appreciated the stay motion adaptation of The Final of Us or not, the present has clearly carried out extremely effectively for itself. That is clearly partially resulting from the truth that it had a pre-established fanbase from the video games, in addition to having the showrunner of the extremely rated Chernobly hooked up, however earlier than it was launched it wasn’t clear simply how effectively it’d do. Properly, in line with Warner Bros Discovery’s latest monetary outcomes (thanks, VGC), it is carried out very effectively: because it stands, it has been seen by over 30 million customers on HBO Max.
The one present that has extra viewership is Sport of Thrones’ closing season, however as famous by VGC that is particularly the numbers for the US, Europe, and Latin America. HBO Max, or just Max as it can quickly be identified, is not at the moment accessible within the UK, that means the numbers are nearly positively increased than that. These numbers should not be a lot of a shock although, because the present did additionally find yourself as HBO’s second greatest debut ever, solely behind Home of the Dragon.
Clearly all of this success implies that the present would proceed, with HBO renewing it for a second season simply a few episodes in when it was airing earlier this yr. There is no concrete phrase on once we can count on the second season to reach, although the present’s personal Ellie, Bella Ramsey, mentioned that it ought to arrive by the top of 2024, or early 2025 on the newest.
We do not know the way far within the second season is perhaps, however it must be famous that there’s at the moment a author’s strike occurring over within the US in the meanwhile. Streaming has confirmed extremely worthwhile for quite a few corporations, and writers aren’t seeing the advantages of that. This might influence when the second season releases, however that actually would not matter as a result of writers getting paid correctly for his or her work is way more necessary.
