Where to see The Last of Us in France?
First good news and not least. The Last of Us begins its broadcast on Prime Video from January 16 in France and at no additional cost!

It will therefore be necessary to subscribe to the Pass Warner, which arrives in March 2023 without specifying the priceto have access to House of the Dragon, Game Of Thrones, TheWire, The Sopranos and all other upcoming HBO series.
Prime Video strikes a blow
By making a deal with Warner, Amazon strikes a blow. In the USA, the major offers its programs via HBO Max. In France, Prime Video has therefore a definite advantage over its competitors as netflix Where Disney+. If these services are a hit, Amazon still has strong assets with HBO series hailed around the world.
This is all the more a masterstroke in that by proposing The Last of Us upon its release and at no additional cost, Prime Video reassures fans who feared not being able to access it legally. For several weeks, the doubt remained about an exit of the series on our territory. At least at the same time as its US broadcast. Spectators can breathe!
