New episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 release Monday mornings here in Australia.
What time do new episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 release in Australia?
The Last of Us is only a few episodes into its second season but already, those who never played the games are having their hearts sufficiently shattered every Monday like clockwork. After escaping Binge before the second season's premiere, The Last of Us has found a new streaming sanctuary on the recently launched Max service. Thankfully, that hasn't changed anything when it comes to availability and the release schedule. New episodes are released at the same time as they are in the US, which is good because you are not going to want this season spoiled.
When do episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 release in Australia?
Anyone who lived through HBO's Game of Thrones will distinctly remember the weekly battle to survive spoilers every Monday before the workday was over.

For Australians, that translates to 11am AEST every Monday morning.

Where to stream The Last of Us TV show
- Max
As an HBO Original, The Last of Us Season 1 was exclusive to Foxtel and Binge in Australia when it first aired in 2023. However, since the launch of Max in Australia, Foxtel's HBO and Max Originals have been transferred to Warner Bros. Discovery's new streaming service. As a result, Season 2 of The Last of Us is streaming exclusively on Max.
Max plans are similarly priced to Binge. Ad-supported plans start at $11.99 per month for HD streaming on two devices. If you want to stream in 4K, with no ad breaks, Max Premium will cost you $21.99 per month. Here's a quick round-up of Max's streaming plans in Australia:
What is The Last of Us about?
The Last of Us is a prestige television drama adapted from the 2013 PlayStation game of the same name (one of our favourites.) Like the game, the TV show opens on the eve of society's collapse after a mass fungal infection sweeps the world, transforming humans into mindless flesh-hungry drones. It's here we meet Joel, one of the protagonists, and his family as they desperately flee their home in search of safety.
Soon after, we're transported 20 years into the future, where an older and more world-weary Joel and his partner Tess have earned a reputation for smuggling drugs in and out of their Quarantine Zone. It's this reputation that inadvertently lands them with the responsibility of transporting one very special person across a desolate America; Ellie, our other protagonist for the adventure ahead.
Season 2 begins with a time-jump: five years after the first season's bloody finale, Joel and Ellie are living somewhat peacefully in a gated community in Jackson, Wyoming. While their road trip may have come to an end, there's an unspoken tension between Joel and Ellie that's driving a wedge between them.
