HBO’s ‘Last of Us’ Season 2 to Premiere in April with Major Changes

The second season will introduce Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and focus on drama over action, adapting parts of the acclaimed video game sequel.

Season 2 of HBO's 'The Last of Us' is set to premiere in April 2025, continuing the story five years after the events of the first season.
Kaitlyn Dever has been cast as Abby, a controversial character from the video game, with a focus on emotional depth rather than replicating the character's physicality from the game.
The season will prioritize character-driven storytelling over action-heavy sequences, exploring moral dilemmas and complex relationships.
The adaptation will cover portions of 'The Last of Us Part II' and is planned to unfold across multiple seasons to capture the scope of the game.
Creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin have teased high-calorie, dense episodes, with a mix of new material and elements from the game’s remastered edition.
