HBO's The Last of Us season 2 premieres this April! Sony's CES 2025 showcase unveiled a new trailer confirming the release date. The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed adaptation will delve into the events of The Last of Us Part II.
The trailer offers glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and the memorable Ellie and Dina dance scene. While co-creator Craig Mazin hinted that Part II's story might span three seasons, this seven-episode season will likely take creative liberties with the source material. The trailer showcases action sequences and emotional moments, including a scene mirroring Joel's therapy sessions – a departure from the game.
The just-over-one-minute trailer, featuring both new and previously released footage, culminates in a red flare, solidifying the April premiere. This narrows down the previously announced Spring 2025 release window (March-June). While a specific date remains unannounced, the April debut is now confirmed.
New Trailer and April Premiere Date Confirmed for The Last of Us Season 2
Fans are dissecting the trailer, noting new shots of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, the Ellie/Dina dance, and the opening alarm sequence. Speculation continues around Catherine O’Hara’s role, with some praising the trailer's use of Roman numerals, reminiscent of Part II's style.
Beyond O’Hara’s character, fans believe they’ve identified another new cast member. Season 1 introduced original characters, but anticipation remains high for live-action portrayals of Jesse and Isaac Dixon (reprised by Jeffrey Wright, who voiced him in the game).
