HBO's 'Last of Us' Season 2 Premiere Date Revealed!

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 The Last of Us: Season 2 will premiere in April. A new trailer offered glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and the memorable Dina and Ellie dance scene, solidifying anticipation for the sequel's adaptation.

While the series adapts the events of The Last of Us Part II, co-creator Craig Mazin previously hinted the game's narrative might span three seasons. The shorter seven-episode Season 2, compared to Season 1's nine, suggests creative liberties will be taken to expand on the story and characters. The trailer showcased this, including a scene depicting Joel Miller's therapy, absent from the game.

The minute-long trailer, featuring quick action sequences and emotional moments, culminated in a red flare, confirming the April premiere. This narrows down the previously announced Spring 2025 release window (March-June). A specific date remains unannounced.

Fresh Footage and Fan Speculation

Though largely comprised of previously released footage, the new trailer provided fresh looks at key scenes. Dever's Abby, the Dina/Ellie dance, and the opening alarm sequence generated significant buzz amongst fans. Speculation continues regarding Catherine O'Hara's role, with some viewers noting the trailer's Roman numeral styling, reminiscent of Part II.

Beyond O'Hara's mystery role, fans are speculating about additional cast members. While Season 1 introduced original characters, anticipation remains high for live-action appearances of characters like Jesse and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon.
