It’s official! The Last Of Us is almost back for Season 2, and after becoming HBO’s second most-watched series premiere in more than a decade, it’s safe to say fans are counting down the days until the series premiere.
With loyal fans of the video game and new The Last Of Us enthusiasts who couldn’t resist giving it a watch, it comes as no surprise that the post-apocalyptic drama has become one of the biggest streaming hits of the last few years.
If you’ve never heard of the series or just want a refresher on the lore of the OG game, keep scrolling to recap everything you need to know about The Last Of Us Season 2.
What will Season 2 of The Last Of Us be about?
While we don’t know how much the next instalment of the series will deviate from the game, the official description gives us a brief look into what we can expect.
“After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.”
Despite the teaser being pretty vague, the second game The Last Of Us Part II takes place five years after the narrative of the original game and follows a 19-year-old Ellie as he hunts down a stranger known as Abby across the country to the ruined outskirts of Seattle.
Who is the cast of The Last Of Us Season 2?
After dropping the first teaser trailer for Season 2, we can all rest assured that our favourite duo Joel and Ellie will be returning for Season 2. They are of course played by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, respectively.
As for the rest of the cast, it’s been confirmed that Kaitlyn Dever will take on the role of Abby, and Young Mazino – who you may recognise from Netflix’s Beef – will star as Jesse.
Joining them is Isabela Merced (Transformers: The Last Knight) as Ellie’s romantic interest, Dina.
What is the release date for season two of The Last Of Us?
Good news! We *finally* have a release date for The Last Of Us Season 2, with HBO revealing that the latest instalment of the story will premiere in April 2025.
