HBO's The Last of Us will introduce American Sign Language (ASL) support in its second season, premiering on Max on April 13. This initiative marks a significant effort towards inclusivity for Deaf audiences, along with other films on the platform offering ASL. The show will feature Deaf performers Daniel Durant and advocacy from Leila Hanaumi. An ASL version of season 1 will also be available starting March 31, enhancing accessibility. This commitment reflects a broader trend in entertainment's focus on accommodating Deaf and hard of hearing viewers, aligning with increasing expectations for inclusivity.
We are thrilled to expand our ASL program and debut our first HBO Original series in ASL with The Last of Us, bringing the show to life authentically.
Max's commitment to American Sign Language is part of a growing movement to consider Deaf and hard of hearing audiences in entertainment.
ASL will also be added to The Last of Us season 1 on March 31, allowing some time to catch up before season 2.
While The Last of Us game developer Naughty Dog hasn't included ASL in its games, they feature impressive accessibility features for a broader audience.
