'The Last of Us' proved its strong popularity by ranking fifth on Netflix's 'Top 10 Series in South Korea Today'.

As of the 8th, EBS's 'The Last of Us' ranked fifth in the Netflix domestic series rankings, following the dramas 'True Education' and 'Brave New World', and the variety shows 'Yoo Jae-suk Camp' and 'Tzuyang Myeokki', garnering high interest from viewers.

'The Last of Us' is the world's first 'scientific survival reality' program set in the near future of 2038, when the Earth's system began to collapse due to climate disasters. It features seven cast members who challenge themselves to survive in unpredictable extreme environments using science.

The program features actor Yoo Seung-ho, comedian Lee Eun-ji, singer and actor Bibi, neuroscientist Jang Dong-sun, chemist Jang Hong-je, ENT specialist and web novel author Lee Nak-jun (alias Hansan-i), and Earth scientist Kim Han-gyeol (Dr.), who works at a U.S. aerospace research institution, as they carry out missions for survival.

Through on-location filming in Arizona, USA, and the implementation of a large-scale world-building, the program delivers an overwhelming immersion that distinguishes it from existing survival variety shows. Beyond simple variety entertainment, it is gaining attention as a new form of reality that reflects EBS's unique approach by jointly contemplating climate crisis and the future of humanity.

EBS stated, "This entry into the top 5 proves the high competitiveness and public value of EBS's knowledge and educational content among dramas and variety content."

A source said, "It appears that the interesting reality format, which allowed participants to experience science not just as information but as a tool for actual survival, led to a positive response." The source added, "We hope many will pay close attention to the survival missions the seven cast members will undertake in the future."

Meanwhile, 'The Last of Us' airs every Thursday at 10:50 p.m. on EBS 1TV and can be watched every Friday on Netflix.
