'The Last of Us' to Stream in ASL Version on Max Starting March 31

HBO's acclaimed series will feature ASL performances by Daniel Durant, offering greater accessibility and cultural representation for Deaf audiences.

The ASL version of 'The Last of Us' Season 1 will be available on Max starting March 31, 2025, with actor Daniel Durant performing in American Sign Language.
Season 2's ASL version will premiere simultaneously with the standard version on April 13, 2025, though the interpreter for Season 2 has not yet been confirmed.
The ASL performances are integrated directly into the frame, with Durant superimposed in the corner wearing a neutral black shirt for seamless viewing.
Unique ASL signs, such as one for 'Infected,' were created to authentically represent the show's context and enhance accessibility for Deaf audiences.
This initiative reflects a growing industry trend toward inclusivity, with Max previously offering ASL versions of films like 'Barbie' and 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.'
