HBO has officially announced that the highly anticipated second season of “The Last of Us” will premiere on April 13, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/PT. The series will be available for streaming on Max.
This upcoming season, consisting of seven episodes, picks up five years after the events of the first season. It continues to follow the journey of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they navigate a post-apocalyptic United States ravaged by a fungal pandemic. The narrative will delve into the complex consequences of their past actions and introduce new challenges in an increasingly perilous world.
In addition to the returning leads, the new season will introduce several key characters from the original video game series. Kaitlyn Dever joins the cast as Abby, a formidable soldier on a quest for vengeance. Isabela Merced portrays Dina, Ellie’s love interest, while Young Mazino takes on the role of Jesse, a vital member of their community. Other notable additions include Ariela Barer as Mel and Tati Gabrielle as Nora.
The creative team, led by co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, has indicated that the second season will adapt portions of the 2020 video game “The Last of Us Part II.” Given the game’s expansive storyline, the adaptation is expected to span multiple seasons to faithfully capture its depth and complexity.
To build anticipation, HBO has released character posters featuring Joel, Ellie, and Abby, along with a teaser trailer that offers a glimpse into the intense and emotional journey awaiting fans. As the premiere date approaches, viewers can look forward to a continuation of the gripping storytelling and character development that made the first season a critical and commercial success.
