Last of Us Season 2 Gets Premiere Month, New Trailer

HBO's The Last of Us season 2: April premiere date confirmed, new trailer revealed!

Sony's CES 2025 presentation brought exciting news for fans: The Last of Us season 2 will debut on HBO this April. A new trailer showcased Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and the memorable Ellie and Dina dance scene. While based on The Last of Us Part II, co-creator Craig Mazin hinted the sequel's story may span three seasons, suggesting this season won't be a complete adaptation.

The just-over-minute-long trailer, featuring quick action sequences and emotional moments, concluded with a red flare, confirming the April premiere. This refines the previously announced Spring 2025 release window (March-June). While a specific date remains unannounced, the anticipation is palpable.

The trailer, though partially comprised of previously released footage, offers fresh glimpses, including Dever's Abby and the iconic dance. The opening alarm also triggered nostalgic chills for gamers. Speculation continues regarding Catherine O’Hara’s role, with fans praising the trailer's Roman numeral styling, reminiscent of Part II.

Beyond O'Hara's character, fans believe they've spotted another new cast member. While season 1 introduced original characters (Kathleen, Perry, Florence, and Marlon), anticipation builds for live-action portrayals of Jesse and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon.

The seven-episode season (compared to season one's nine) promises creative liberties, as evidenced by Joel's therapy session, a scene absent from the game. The combination of familiar moments and fresh perspectives guarantees a compelling continuation of this critically acclaimed adaptation.
