HBO had already signaled that The Last of Us will return in 2025, but now it’s 100% confirmed. The newest Max sizzle reel specifically stated that Season 2 of the hit show will arrive in 2025.
In May, HBO said Season 2 was penciled in for release in 2025, but that window was assigned to the show prior to the onset of the strikes. Some believed the sophomore season could slip to sometime later, but thankfully for fans, that is not the case. More recently, HBO boss Casey Bloys said in November that Season 2 was being eyed for release in 2025.
Production on The Last of Us Season 2 is set to begin in February 2024 in Canada. The second season is expected to adapt events of The Last of Us: Part II, which means Abby will show up. Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, recently discussed how she had a “big fear” that Season 2 wouldn’t be able to live up to the highly acclaimed Season 1.
