Unfortunately, HBO has not yet announced a specific release date for this sequel. However, the trailer states that season 2 will be released in 2025. Filming is in any case finished, and some media are speculating about a possible release next February.

What will the story of season 2 be like??

If we are to believe this trailer, the series will remain relatively faithful to the game that inspired it, even if it is not a carbon copy either. I should warn you right away that you will have to expect very dark events, and even the most beloved heroes are in danger.

Let's remember that episode 9 of season 1 left us with a bitter taste. Joel manages to save Ellie from the Fireflies who wanted to operate on her to find a cure. Except that this intervention would have killed him. He therefore eliminates each member of the group and then lies to Ellie by telling her that the search for a cure has failed.

For season 2, a real jump in time will be made as in the game. Several years have passed, and, if our two heroes still live nearby, a certain distance has settled between them.

The two showrunners of The Last of Us have already mentioned this sequel in an interview. Neil Druckmann explains for his part that this second season will not be modeled on the second game: “It will be different, just like this season was. Sometimes it will be radically different, and sometimes it will be the same.”

Craig Mazin agrees: “It won't be exactly like the game. It'll be the series that Neil and I want to do.”.

What a cast for this sequel ?

The spectators won't be too disoriented since we will find the duo made up of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the two main roles. Alongside them, we notice several newcomers and especially Kaitlyn Dever who has been officially confirmed in the role of Abby Anderson, a character who will take an important place in the plot.

Finally, we note the presence of Young Mazino, Isabela Merced, Danny Ramirez, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, and Jeffrey Wright.

Pedro Pascal has already discussed the future of his character in an interview. The Hollywood darling explains:

I think they'll always find ways to build on the incredible source material they have and surprise us with how they can use that material in a different format, like a TV series. But I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone, and the truth is I don't have all the information yet.

That's all for now. Are you, like us, excited for this season 2 of The Last of Us ? Tell us in the comments.
