The The Last of Us Season 1 was a record-breaking phenomenon. Its premiere boosted HBO's popularity and it soon became the platform's most watched series due to its steadily growing audience levels.
However, Craig Mazin and Naughty Dog's production just lost an important record, as a recent premiere on HBO managed to surpass it in terms of millions of minutes watched. Thus, The Last of Us ceased to be the most watched series on the service.
New documentary series beats The Last of Us record on HBO
During its debut, The Last of Us set ratings records with millions of viewers and, also, millions of minutes watched. It even had faster viewer growth than House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones spin-off. It also surpassed Wednesday in terms of millions of minutes watched with its first episodes.
More than a year after its premiere, The Last of Us finally lost its throne as the series with the best record of millions of minutes watched on the platform. That spot is now occupied by Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a documentary series that debuted recently.
According to details, The Last of Us logged 1.2 billion minutes watched in early 2023. This positioned it as one of HBO's most popular series in its history. However, it is now in position 2 of said top.
We know that Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV registered 1.3 billion minutes watched from March 18 to 24. So it set a new record on the streaming platform. Now, the battle is not over, as Season 2 of The Last of Us is already on its way.
We know it will be available sometime in 2025. It is expected to be a resounding success due to the good reception of the first episodes. Will it beat the record of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV and regain the top spot? We will have to wait and see.
