Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are likely to be back for The Last of Us season 2, which is on its way to HBO, even if we don’t know when the release date might be. We also know that the show will adapt The Last of Us Part 2, likely across several seasons.
The Last of Us’ first season has come to an end, but there’s more to Joel and Ellie’s story than one season of TV could tell. Unfortunately, HBO hasn’t revealed too much about the next season of the show, beyond the fact that it’s happening. We don’t even know when season 2 might arrive, but given HBO’s habit of waiting two years between the first two seasons of its biggest shows (like Westworld or likely House of the Dragon) it seems like we could be waiting awhile to return to The Last of Us’ Cordyceps apocalypse.
The show’s first season adapted the story of The Last of Us Part 1, the first game in the franchise, and one thing we do know is that season 2 will focus on the story of The Last of Us Part 2. Aside from that, here’s everything you should know about The Last of Us season 2 after watching the first season’s finale. When will The Last of Us season 2 debut on HBO?
There’s no word yet on when exactly The Last of Us might get its second season, but we do know it’s on the way. Based on HBO’s production schedule for some of its other big series, we shouldn’t necessarily expect the customary TV break of just one year between seasons of The Last of Us, which likely brings the second season’s release date to 2025 or even later.
This timeline got a bit more unofficial support from series star Bella Ramsey when she told The Independent that the second season wasn’t likely to come until “end of 2024, early 2025.
