It already seemed very reliable: yesterday, November 1, 2022, numerous images and screenshots made the rounds on the internet, showing that the website of the American broadcaster HBO and the app of its streaming service HBO Max January 15, 2023 as the start date for the series. “The Last Of Us” – but without an official announcement. But it is now added, maybe that was planned for today, but maybe that’s how you react to the leak in the short term.
In any case, one thing is certain: “The Last Of Us” actually airs in the US on January 15, 2023. As Sky announced in an official press release at the same time, the series is coming to Germany as expected. The first episode of “The Last Of Us” will air in Germany on the night of January 15-16 (probably from 3am) on Sky and the Sky streaming service WOW.
In line with the announcement, the first official poster for the video game adaptation has now been released:

The finale of the ten-part first season of “The Last Of Us” should therefore flicker across the screens on March 19 and 20 (if there are no breaks due to holidays). Fans of protagonist Pedro Pascal have two reasons to rejoice early next year.
The third season of the “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian” also starts on Disney+ in February 2023 (a new leak promises February 22), in which Pascal is also known (albeit mostly hidden under a helmet) to star. The highlights of both series will run parallel for a while.
That’s what “The Last Of Us” is all about
“The Last Of Us” is based on the 2013 PlayStation hit of the same name (and its “Left Behind” expansion), whose lead developer Neil Druckmann is now also responsible for the series adaptation himself along with “Chernobyl” creator Craig Mazin. The plot also follows its popular template very closely.
