Max is enhancing accessibility for its content by adding American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation to its original series 'The Last of Us'. Starting March 31, the first season will be re-released with ASL provided by CODA star Daniel Durant. Furthermore, Season 2 will feature ASL interpretation on the same day it airs. The initiative aims to provide clearer communication and access, allowing deaf audiences to engage more deeply with the material. Both Durant and director Leila Hanaumi emphasize the cultural significance and evolving nature of ASL in the scientific context as well.
"We always rely on captions, but they're always in English grammar structure, and having the concept of adding a deaf interpreter there just makes it a clearer message."
"It's just amazing this kind of access is capable now, because it aligns with deaf people in different work environments and fields. We have more deaf scientists now, and they are coming up with new ASL signs for scientific terms."
