It's finally time to watch The Last of Us episode 3 online. And this is one episode you're not going to want to miss. Trust us on that. And, once you've seen it, you'll want to check out the news about the 2-hour The Last of Us episode 3 director's cut that's even more heart-breaking.
U.S. date and time: The Last of Us episode 3 broadcasts today (Sunday, Jan. 29) at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on HBO and HBO Max.
The Last of Us U.K. release date: Monday (Jan. 30) at 2 a.m. GMT on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
With seven words — "Not today, you new world order jackboots," Nick Offerman made the internet as giddy as Ron Swanson ordering breakfast. Yes, the trailer for The Last of Us episode 3 began with those words, as survivor Bill (Offerman) hid in his bunker. This is the perfect casting news, giving Nick Offerman a well-stocked bunker in the Cordyceps-ridden world is like giving us an alternate reality version of Parks and Rec's favorite Libertarian.
Once Bill and his new pal Frank (The White Lotus alum Murray Bartlett) are done debating the Arby's business model, though, they're going to take audiences on a fantastic ride. I dare not say anything more to spoil the episode, though. The two characters were referenced by Tess in last week's chapter of the series, and this episode will see Joel (Pedro Pascal) taking Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to them for protection. Want a refresher on how we got here? Check out my The Last of Us episode 2 recap for a detailed breakdown.
And, at the risk of over-hyping The Last of Us episode 3, I'll note that this was the episode that got me to start my "best TV episodes of 2023" list. Oh, and I've watched it twice already, and enjoyed it both times. That said, if you want more to watch, we've got 7 new shows and movies to watch this weekend on a variety of services.
We're curious if The Last of Us episode 3 might break HBO Max's servers, as interest in the show seems to be on the rise. In our spoiler-free The Last of Us review, I only hinted at how emotionally impactful this episode is.
That said, you might want to check out this trailer for The Last of Us episode 3, (though I would skip it, personally). We've also got the news on HBO confirming The Last of Us season 2, as well as everything you need to know about how to watch The Last of Us episode 3, no matter where you are.
Oh, and read our The Last of Us episode 4 recap and review to see what we thought of what comes after this.
