If, like us, you’ve fallen head over heels for the zombie-fighting duo that is Joel and Ellie from The Last Of Us then you’ll be pleased to know the series is officially returning for another season.
It comes as no surprise after the post-apocalyptic drama became HBO’s second most-watched series premiere in more than a decade, falling only behind Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon in viewership.
With everything from a star-studded cast list – most sharing an uncanny resemblance to their video game counterparts – to the bitingly funny banter of our two protagonists, The Last Of Us had us hooked from the get-go.
So, in light of the news that the show has been renewed for a second season, we’ve gathered everything you need to know, including the release date, plot and cast.
Is There A Trailer For Season 2 Of ‘The Last Of Us’?
We finally have our first full-length trailer for season two of the HBO hit and it’s intense, to say the least. In the clip, we get our first look at newcomers Tati Gabrielle and Kaitlyn Dever (albeit briefly) as well as Ellie falling in love (naw) and her learning that Joel lied to her (yikes). Watch the full trailer here.
When Will Season 2 Of ‘The Last Of Us’ Come Out?
HBO has just announced that the second season of The Last Of Us will be released on April 13, 2025.
Until then, you can stream season one now on Binge with a 7-day free trial after you sign up here.
What Will Season 2 Of ‘The Last Of Us’ Be About?
As per the official description, the series picks up five years following the events of the first season, where “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.”
For more details, we can also look at the video game to give us a hint of what to expect.
The Last Of Us Part II introduces fans to Ellie at the age of 19 as she hunts down a stranger known as Abby across the country to the ruined outskirts of Seattle.
Who Will Be In The Cast Of ‘The Last Of Us’ Season 2?

Joining them are Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, and Jeffrey Wright. Catherine O’Hara also guest stars this season.
