A new trailer for the second season of HBO’s Emmy-winning series The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, is finally out, and so is the month of release.

The show’s first season wrapped up in March 2023, so it’ll be more than two years between seasons by the time the new one debuts – which is, drum roll please – this April! Although, we don’t have the exact date yet.
The debut season was a smash hit, defying the odds stacked against video game adaptations, and now the stakes couldn’t be higher as fans eagerly anticipate the show’s triumphant return.
The new trailer is our first glimpse at the show’s future since a teaser trailer was released at the very end of September. Picking up five years after the first season’s climactic events, we see Joel (Miller) and Ellie (Ramsey)’s found-family relationship unravel as the pair grow apart from that monumental moment in the first season’s finale.
As The Verge notes, the second season is supposed to cover a portion of the second game, with the full story being split across the seasons, according to an interview last year with the show’s creators.
“We don’t think that we’re going to be able to tell the story even within two seasons [2 and 3] because we’re taking our time and go down interesting pathways which we did a little bit in Season 1 too,” showrunner Craig Mazin told Deadline.
It looks like the upcoming season of The Last of Us won’t dogmatically follow the story beats of its source material but play around with them in inventive and expansive ways.
Time to conquer some cordyceps!
The Last of Us season two is slated to premiere on HBO and Max sometime in April.
