The Last of Us is set to get its long-anticipated second season on 14 April 2025. Previously, it was assumed this would be streaming on Binge in Australia, but a new press release has seemingly confirmed that won’t be the case. Instead, it will “exclusively” stream on HBO’s Max.
As announced in a recent press release, HBO will launch its Max streaming service within Australia on 31 March 2025. This move had been announced several months prior, but its arrival still came relatively out of the blue, as did the short lead-up to its formal launch. In just a few weeks, Max will arrive – and in Australia, it appears it will largely supersede Binge.
What’s happening to Binge?To date, Binge has been a must-have streaming service in Australia, thanks to its inclusion of HBO shows, as well as deals with WWE and other content providers. Earlier this year, Binge lost its WWE content to Netflix, and now, it’s set to lose its HBO content to Max.While it has plenty of other streaming shows in its roster, including Australian content and select BBC favourites, it’s likely the Binge of the future looks much different than before.

Currently-airing shows like The Whit.
