HBO has dropped a teaser for the second season of The Last of Us, based on the controversial video game. With the introduction of a new character and a release date yet to be confirmed, fans are eagerly anticipating what's to come.

The Last of Us Season 2 may premiere on Sunday, April 13, 2025, with 7 episodes. Fans anticipate a faithful adaptation of the game's events, with concerns about character portrayal. Season 2 may adapt the game more closely and add creative angles to character narratives.

The Last of Us season 2 is only a few months away from premiering, but we still don't have an exact release date for the new batch of episodes. The only official update so far is that season 2 will premiere sometime in April 2025, but fans think they've worked out when exactly the season premiere will air.

If April 13 is indeed the premiere date, the season 2 finale will likely fall on May 25. “The Last of Us” writers, creators, and showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have confirmed that season 2 will consist of seven episodes, making it two episodes shorter than season 1.

CES 2025 hit us with a curveball when Naughty Dog Studios' creative director Neal Druckmann unexpectedly stepped onto the Sony press conference stage to drop a brand new trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 — and yeah, it’s as intense as you’d hope.
