The last of us‘ The first season has come to an end, but there is more to the story of Joel and Ellie than a season on TV could tell. Unfortunately, HBO hasn’t revealed too much about the show’s next season, aside from the fact that it’s taking place. We don’t even know when Season 2 might come out, but given HBO’s habit of waiting two years between the first two seasons of its biggest shows (like western world or probably house of the dragon) Seems like we may have to wait a while before returning The last of us‘ Cordyceps Apocalypse.
The show’s first season adapted the story from The Last of Us Part 1the first game in the franchise and we know season 2 will focus on the story of The Last of Us Part 2. Aside from that, Here’s everything you should know The last of us Season 2 after watching the Season 1 finale.
When will The Last of Us season 2 debut on HBO?
Exactly when is not yet certain The last of us might get its second season, but we know it’s on the way. Based on HBO’s production schedule for some of its other major series, we shouldn’t necessarily expect the usual one-year TV break between seasons of The last of uswhich probably puts the second season release date at 2025 or even later.
This timeline received a little more unofficial endorsement from series star Bella Ramsey than she was telling The Independent that season two probably wouldn’t come until “late 2024, early 2025.”
What is Season 2 (and The Last of Us Part 2) about?
In the vaguest terms The Last of Us Part 2 deals with the aftermath of Joel’s actions at the end of Part 1. If the (very general) theme of the first game is love, the second game is more about hate, with most of its running time devoted to revenge. If you thought season 1 was grim, brace yourself!
Is there a time jump before season 2 of The Last of Us?
The Last of Us Part 2 takes place a few years after the events of the first game, which means that The last of us Season 2 will likely have a time warp as well. However, Part 2 contains some flashbacks from years past, so it all depends on how HBO adapts the story and in what order.
Will Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey be back in Season 2?
Probably! At least your characters will be. And while some fans online have expressed a bit of concern about Bella being too young for Ellie’s story The last of us Part 2, she is actually the same age as the character in the game. More importantly, showrunner and co-creator Craig Mazin has previously said there are no plans at all to recast Ramsey – who was one of the best parts of season one.
Will The Last of Us season 2 be the final season?
It’s possible, but probably not. Officially, The last of us was only renewed for Season 2 and no further, but given its popularity, it will likely get as many seasons as Mazin and co-creator Neil Druckmann would like. The two confirmed how many that could be GQ after the season one finale, which they don’t feel the story of The Last of Us Part 2 can be adapted in just one television season. Mazin isn’t sure how many seasons the pair plans to adjust the game, saying only that it’s “more than one season.”
What does the first teaser poster for season 2 of The Last of Us mean?
The last of us The first major tease of season two is an image tweeted by Druckmann on Monday March 20th. The image shows an unknown person’s arm holding a hammer. While this may seem like a big mystery to show viewers, to anyone who’s played before The Last of Us Part 2 know that this is probably a prank on Abby, one of the most important characters in the game.
Assuming Mazin and Druckmann follow the plot of the second game at all, Abby will play a massive role in the story, and one that could complicate the moral universe of the series and our ideas about who this story’s heroes and villains might be. While this teasing is pretty obvious, there has still been no official announcement as to who will play Abby on the HBO series, or if she will even be a part of season two.
Any discussion of who exactly Abby is, what she’s like, or how important she is to the plot would involve some gameplay spoilers that are better left unsaid while we wait for Season 2, but for now all we can say is that she is a member of the Fireflies with a very direct personal connection to Joel.
