The Emmy nominations are out, and it seems The Last of Us Season 2 has performed well, although not as well as Season 1 did.
The Last of Us Season 2 went live this April, bringing fans to a brand new chapter for Ellie and Joel’s journey in this post-apocalyptic world. However, Season 2 of the series failed to live up to Season 1, with the finale episode experiencing a 55% drop in viewership. Although there was a significant drop, TLOU Season 2 has still managed to secure a sufficient number of Emmy nominations.
