Max to debut The Last Of Us S2 with American Sign Language

March 20, 2025

Max has announced that Season 2 of HBO original drama series The Last Of Us will be available to stream in American Sign Language (ASL) alongside the show’s episodes each week beginning with the season debut on April 13th. Season 1 of the series will also be available to stream in ASL starting March 31st.

This marks the first time that HBO’s original programming will be available to stream in ASL on Max, following the ASL versions of Warner Bros films including Barbie, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

‘With ASL’ titles, including The Last Of Us, will be displayed on the Max app along with key art featuring the sign language symbol. The Max platform also offers features such as audio descriptions, closed captions, screen reader compatibility, magnification, keyboard navigation, and colour contrast to ensure an accessible streaming experience. The Last Of Us with ASL is performed by Daniel Durant and Leila Hanaumi.

“We are thrilled to expand our ASL programme and debut our first HBO Original series in ASL with The Last Of Us,” said Naomi Waibel, SVP of Global Product Management at WBD. “This debut brings the show to life in an authentic and fully accessible way for Deaf audiences and is another meaningful step towards our goal of offering an inclusive streaming experience.”
