HBO Releases Trailer for The Last of Us Season 2

HBO has unveiled the first full trailer for Season 2 of 'The Last of Us,' coinciding with 'The Last of Us Day' on September 26, which commemorates the in-universe outbreak of the Cordyceps virus. The new season, set to premiere in 2025, features returning stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, alongside newcomers like Catherine O'Hara and Kaitlyn Dever, who plays Abby—an essential character from the video game's sequel. The trailer hints at a narrative that unfolds five years after Season 1, exploring the evolving conflicts between Joel and Ellie against a backdrop of a more perilous world. This season will consist of seven episodes, fewer than its predecessor, and will not cover the entirety of the plot from 'The Last of Us Part II.' HBO's announcement comes after the first season broke viewership records, making it the most-watched debut series in the network's history. The series will continue to stream on Max in the U.S. and Crave in Canada.
