When you watch The Last of Us episode 6 online tonight at its regularly scheduled day and time, you'll see yet another great episode. Yes, we've seen it, but this story is spoiler-free.

The Last of Us episode 6: AU release date, time

The Last of Us AU release date: Monday, February 20 at 1PM AEDT on Binge and Foxtel Now.

As detailed in Tom's Guide's The Last of Us episode 5 recap and review, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) just survived a chaotic stretch. Not only did a Bloater rise, but foes and friends alike fell. You've watched that episode right? We're only being vague so you have time to go back in case you haven't.

As for what the episode 6 trailer shows us, the weary travelers seem to finally find a little peace. But after Joel finally reconnects with his brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna), the two disagree on what's to be done. Tommy, it seems, isn't happy with the fact that they killed people to stay alive.

This episode also introduces Rutina Wesley's Maria, who leads the survivors in Jackson, who have something of an actual city.

To see those details and more, check out the below trailer (HBO's already confirmed The Last of Us season 2, by the way). Here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Last of Us episode 6 in Australia.
