The Last of Us episode 7 release date and time: How to watch right now on HBO and HBO Max
It's finally time for Ellie and Riley's night out
It's time to hit "play" and watch The Last of Us episode 7 online tonight, as this latest episode is now live on HBO Max. And this week's edition will reveal more of what Marlene was talking about in the first episode.
U.S. date and time: The Last of Us episode 7 is available on demand, having released on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on HBO and HBO Max.
The Last of Us U.K. release date: Monday (Feb. 27) at 2 a.m. GMT on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
The Last of Us AU release date: Monday (Feb. 27) at 1 p.m. AEDT on Binge and Foxtel Now.
If you remember, Marlene provoked a very strong reaction out of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) when mentioning Riley (Storm Reid). Gamers who played The Last of Us' Left Behind DLC probably also had a strong reaction. And we'll finally get to meet Riley in The Last of Us episode 7, when it rewinds the clock back to weeks before Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie met.
As seen in the preview below, Ellie was even more miserable back before she went on this mission. That said, you may prefer to go into the episode without watching the trailer — that's your call. But as I detailed in Tom's Guide's The Last of Us episode 6 recap and review, a cliffhanger left Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) after a run-in with thugs that left Joel gravely wounded.
As Marlene mentioned, Riley’s enlisted with the Fireflies. This should cause some drama between her and Ellie, as the latter is still with FEDRA.
Those unfamiliar with Storm Reid should expect a great performance. She's more than proven her acting chops in Euphoria as Gia Bennett, the younger sister of Zendaya's Rue.
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 7, no matter where you are.
Oh, and now that the episode has aired, check out our The Last of Us episode 7 recap and review once you've finished it.
