The Last of Us Episode 3’s Long, Long Running Time

Sunday’s The Last of Us, titled “Long Long Time,” runs for a long, long time. HBO has confirmed the title and running time of episode 3, which introduces a pair of post-pandemic survivalists living alone in their own isolated town: Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett). According to the HBO schedule, the feature-length episode clocks in at 81 minutes, just shy of the 85-minute series premiere. That’s considerably longer than last week’s normal-sized episode 2 (56 minutes) and the upcoming episode 4 (airing February 5th) and episode 5 (February 12th).

Episode 2, “Infected,” ended with — spoiler warning — an Infected-bitten Tess (Anna Torv) urging Joel (Pedro Pascal) to continue their mission of escorting Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to Bill and Frank’s. “This is your chance. You get her there, you keep her alive, and you set everything right,” Tess said of Ellie, whose immunity to the Cordyceps infection might be the key to saving the world.
