Last of Us Season 2 Gets Premiere Month, New Trailer

HBO's The Last of Us Season 2: April Premiere Confirmed, New Trailer Unveiled

Sony's CES 2025 showcase delivered exciting news for fans of HBO's post-apocalyptic drama: The Last of Us Season 2 will premiere in April. The announcement came alongside a new trailer offering glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and the memorable Dina and Ellie dance scene.

While adapting the events of The Last of Us Part II, Season 2, a seven-episode run (shorter than Season 1's nine), won't be a complete game recreation. Co-creator Craig Mazin previously hinted that Part II's story might span three seasons. The trailer showcases action sequences and emotional moments, including a scene featuring Joel Miller's therapy, a deviation from the game's storyline. The trailer, clocking in at just over a minute, culminates with a red flare, confirming the previously announced Spring 2025 release window (March-June) has been narrowed down to April. A specific date remains undisclosed.

New Footage and Familiar Faces

The new trailer, while featuring some previously seen footage, also provides fresh looks at key characters and scenes. Dever's Abby is prominently featured, along with the iconic Dina and Ellie dance. The opening alarm sequence is sure to resonate with gamers. Speculation continues around Catherine O'Hara's role, and the Roman numeral styling in the trailer has drawn comparisons to the game's sequel.

Beyond O'Hara's mystery character, fans are actively debating potential new additions to the cast. While Season 1 introduced original characters, anticipation builds for live-action appearances of characters from Part II, including Jesse and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon.

The seven-episode season promises a compelling adaptation, blending familiar moments with creative liberties to expand the narrative and character development. The April premiere date sets the stage for another gripping chapter in the Last of Us saga.
