Max to Stream 'The Last of Us' with ASL Starting March 31

Max has announced that the second season of HBO's acclaimed drama series The Last of Us will be available to stream with American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation starting April 13, with the first season accessible in ASL from March 31. This initiative marks the first time HBO's original programming will include ASL on Max, following previous ASL versions of Warner Bros. films. ASL interpretation for the series will be performed by Daniel Durant and Leila Hanaumi, both of whom have notable experience in integrating ASL into their performances. The inclusion of ASL is part of Max's broader commitment to providing an accessible streaming experience, supported by features like audio descriptions and closed captions. Naomi Waibel, SVP of Global Product Management at Warner Bros. Discovery, expressed enthusiasm for this step towards enhancing inclusivity for Deaf audiences. This move aligns with the series' commitment to accessibility, reflecting similar efforts seen in the original video game.
