The Last of Us: Here's When and Where to watch the show in the UK

It's almost time for HBO's The Last of Us to start its run on TVs around the world. The acclaimed action-adventure video game is kicking off its live-action adaptation in just a few days, and with that being the case, we've pulled together a short few details that will help UK viewers catch the new series as it unfolds.

How to Watch The Last of Us

You will be able to watch The Last of Us on one of two platforms. Those who still have a TV box will be able to find it on Sky Atlantic and will even be able to watch it at the same time as the Americans.

If you would rather look to streaming services, Now TV will be the destination instead, with the show arriving here on Monday morning.

When to Watch The Last of Us

As we noted above, The Last of Us will be available on Sky Atlantic when it airs in the US, which for UK viewers will be the ungodly hour of 2:00 GMT on Monday, January 16.

The show will also be re-airing on Sky on Monday evening for the masses that won't have stayed up to such a late hour.

For Now TV, expect the series to become available on-demand when the daily content update happens at 8:00 GMT in the morning.
