Following that deeply emotional and gut-wrenching finale of season one featuring Joel and Ellie, fans of HBO’s The Last of Us are eagerly anticipating the arrival of season two. It appears that some keen observers have uncovered a potential release date for when audiences can dive back into the gripping post-apocalyptic world.
Hailed as one of the finest video games ever created, The Last of Us won over many fans upon its release on the PlayStation 3 in 2013. Like the HBO adaptation, the game narrates the tale of Joel, a survivor, and Ellie, an orphan, as they struggle to survive in a world ravaged by a zombie apocalypse. The game received a plethora of awards, including Best Animated Video Game, Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing, and Game of the Year, showcasing that Neil Druckmann’s idea was a surefire hit. To capitalize on its success and the love from fans, the sequel, The Last of Us Part 2, was released in 2020, achieving remarkable success for Naughty Dog. To further expand its reach, HBO adapted the game into a television series, marking another significant achievement for the beloved franchise.
The Last of Us Fans Have Predicted Season 2’s Release Date
According to The Last of Us News on X, fans can look forward to season two launching on Sunday, April 13th, on HBO and Max. This new season will have seven episodes, which is a reduction of two from the first season. The announcement noted that the premiere will take place a week after The White Lotus season three wraps up on April 6. Although this is just speculation for now, it fits perfectly with the recent trailer that indicated an April release for HBO’s The Last of Us.
Season two of The Last of Us is expected to diverge from a full adaptation of the game, as co-creator Craig Mazin hinted that the story from Part 2 will unfold over three seasons. The latest trailer from HBO suggests that Mazin and Druckmann might have adjusted the game’s timeline to better suit season two, particularly regarding Abby Anderson. Additionally, fans were treated to a scene featuring Joel, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, in a therapy session with Catherine O’Hara’s character, which was not part of the game. This indicates that the series will likely explore new dimensions of the characters’ stories throughout the upcoming season.
The Last of Us Season 2 will be available to watch on HBO and stream in April (possibly 13th).
