It’s almost time for another episode of The Last of Us! The HBO adaptation of the best-selling video game is the show of the moment, not only receiving rave reviews but also becoming one of the network’s biggest titles just three episodes in.

Game of Thrones actors Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey star as Joel and Ellie, an unlikely duo who travel together across a post-apocalyptic United States. If you haven’t checked out the new series, what are you waiting for? It’s really as good as people are saying.

Episode 4 of The Last of Us, titled “Please Hold to My Hand,” premieres this Sunday night on HBO. Based on the preview, we’ll be getting more of Joel and Ellie this time around after last week’s episode focused on Bill and Frank’s love story. Hopefully we won’t need as many tissues this week, as the episode looks to be more action-packed than emotional. Oh, and we’ll be getting Melanie Lynskey’s debut on the show! Yay!

Check out the preview for Episode 4 if you haven’t seen it yet:

Each episode of The Last of Us has been pretty different in length; the premiere was 1 hour and 25 minutes, Episode 2 was 56 minutes, and then Episode 3 came in at 1 hour and 20. It’s not easy to predict how long you’ll be sitting down for as you’re about to tune in for the next episode. That’s why we’re here. Below you’ll find the run time for Episode 4, along with other details on when and how to watch.

The Last of Us Episode 4 run time

If you’re a fan of longer episodes that almost feel more like movies than TV, you might be disappointed to learn that this week’s episode of The Last of Us is actually the shortest one so far. According to HBO’s schedule, “Please Hold to My Hand” comes in at 50 minutes in total. By usual TV standards, that’s on the longer side, but for this show, it’s pretty short.

The Last of Us will continue with Episode 4 on HBO Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. EST. And if you miss the first showing, the episode will air again three more times. After that, the movie The Mexican will air at 12:20 a.m. EST. If you’re streaming the series through HBO Max, you can access Episode 4 at 9:00 p.m. EST on Sunday and are able to watch it at any time after that.
