It has all come down to this. Joel and Ellie’s adventure across post apocalyptic America is nearing its end in the hotly anticipated season finale of The Last Of Us. HBO’s adaption of the popular video game has been incredibly well received and viewership has grown 74% since the first episode. As a result, fans want more of the beloved series and many want to know what the The Last Of Us season finale runtime is.
Despite initial reservations about adapting such a beloved game, The Last Of Us has proven to be not only one of the best video game adaptions ever made but also one of the best TV series in recent memory. There have been a few changes here and there; however, its largely faithful retelling of the game has been a hit with new and existing fans alike.
The season finale will air in the US on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, 12 March. In the UK, The Last Of Us season one’s final episode will air at 2am on 13 March on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
Unlike most TV shows, The Last Of Us hasn’t stuck to a standard runtime for each of its episodes. Instead, episodes have varied in length to accommodate the story the writers have wanted to tell.
With so much to cover in the last episode, fans are eager to know what The Last Of Us season finale runtime is.
