The Last Of Us Season 2 To Premiere On HBO And Max On April 13th

Fans have eagerly awaited news about the second installment of the post-apocalyptic drama “The Last of Us” since production ended in August 2024. The show, based on the video game, received widespread acclaim and numerous award nominations for both the series and its cast. This positive momentum from the first season will be continued into the second season.

On February 19th, 2025, HBO revealed that The Last of Us Season 2 would make its debut on their cable network at 9 pm ET/PT on April 13th, 2025. This highly anticipated season will also be streaming on Max. To build excitement for the upcoming season, they unveiled three promotional posters showcasing Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. The tagline for this season is “Every path has a price.

As an avid fan, I’m eagerly anticipating the second season of The Last of Us, which is set to delve into stories and events from The Last of Us Part 2 of 2020. Many fans, including myself, are hoping that this adaptation will rectify some narrative and thematic issues that Naughty Dog may have inadvertently created with the game. It’s intriguing to contemplate how the show’s writers will approach the source material. The official synopsis suggests that five years after the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie find themselves embroiled in a conflict, not just with each other, but also with a world that has become even more perilous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.

The second season of the Emmy®-winning HBO original drama series “The Last of Us” premieres this Sunday, April 13, at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO. You can also stream it starting then on StreamOnMax. Use the hashtag #TheLastOfUs for discussions!
