Jason Struss
By

The Last of Us has been one of the biggest hits of 2023. With viewership increasing by the millions with each episode, the show has already achieved something truly rare in entertainment: it’s a video game adaptation that doesn’t suck.

On the contrary, The Last of Us honors its original video game source material and is about more than just bacteria-infested zombies. It probes issues of love, faith, regret, despair, and hope in a way seldom seen on television. Six episodes have been released so far, and if you want to find all the information on episode 7 — including the release date, time, channel, plot synopsis, cast, runtime, and trailer — you’ve come to the right place.

What time does The Last of Us episode 7 come out?

HBO Max is one of the top streaming services available. The Last of Us is quickly becoming a huge hit for HBO, joining the recent success of series like House of the Dragon, Succession, and Winning Time. Legacy shows such as Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, The Wire, and The Sopranos are also available to watch on the service. You can also get lost in the movie library with a great selection of films, ranging from blockbusters like The Batman to classic standout dramas like The Verdict.

What is episode 7 of The Last of Us about?

Over the course of a short time period, the pair grow closer as they explore the ruins of an abandoned mall, including riding a functioning merry-go-round. There will also be flashbacks to Ellie’s mother, Anna.

On Rotten Tomatoes, The Last of Us sits at 97% on the Tomatometer, with an audience score of 91%. On Metacritic, the film has a Metascore of 84 and a user score of 6.5.
