The Last of Us Season 2 Release Date Confirmed

HBO's highly anticipated The Last of Us Season 2 premieres this April! Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 13th at 9pm ET/PT, streaming simultaneously on Max. This seven-episode season promises to be a thrilling continuation of Joel and Ellie's journey.

Five years after the events of Season 1, we find Joel and Ellie settled in Montana with Tommy. Season 2 adapts the events of The Last of Us Part II, so familiarity with the game's storyline is recommended for a richer viewing experience.

Returning are Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, joined by a stellar cast of newcomers: Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Lamar Johnson as Henry, Keivonn Woodard as Sam, and Tati Gabrielle as Nora. Gabrielle also stars in Naughty Dog's upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Francesca Orsi, from HBO, has hinted at a potential four-season run for the series, indicating that this season won't fully encompass the entire game's narrative.
