Stream 'The Last of Us' on Max

2023 saw Max come out with a number of new releases including a reboot of the classic Gossip Girl and the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. However, the release of The Last of Us, a nine-episode drama series based on the popular post-apocalyptic action-adventure game, was by far the fan favorite. As audiences await season two, the show announced two new cast members, including Kaitlyn Dever, who will play Abby, and Young Mazino, who will place Jesse.

If you didn’t catch season one, here’s how to watch The Last of Us TV series online ahead of the season two release, plus more information on cast members, plot details, and how to purchase The Last of Us game.

How to Watch The Last of Us Online

The Last of Us premiered exclusively on Max, which means you’ll need an active subscription to stream the series online.

A Max ad-free plan costs $15.99/month, while a subscription with ads will run you $9.99/month. This is one of two ways to stream The Last of Us online, so subscribe now to watch all episodes, including season two when it’s released.

The hit series is also available to stream online when purchased on Amazon Prime. Each episode costs $3.99, or you can buy the entire season for $29.99, saving you around 40% for 12 episodes.

The Last of Us: Plot Details, Spoilers, Cast Members

The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal as Joel surviving in the post-apocalyptic United States after civilization has been decimated by the ‘infected’ — human hosts turned into zombie-like creatures. Working as a smuggler, Joel comes across Ellie (Bella Ramsey) who somehow manages to survive the infection unscathed and is then tasked to escort her out of the quarantine zone. The story continues with both Joel and Ellie surviving various adversaries as they travel cross-country toward their destination.

Like the videogame, season two will more than likely find both original characters five years into the future when their lives become entwined with Abby, recently announced to be played by Kaitlyn Dever, and Jesse, to be played by Young Mazino.

Rolling Stone’s Alan Sepinwall gave The Last of Us a glowing review, describing it as Max’s big hit that almost made him “forget that it’s based on a video game.”
