HBO's The Last of Us Season 2: April Premiere Confirmed, New Trailer Unveiled
Sony's CES 2025 presentation brought exciting news for fans of HBO's post-apocalyptic drama: The Last of Us Season 2 will premiere in April! The announcement came alongside a new trailer offering glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and the memorable Dina and Ellie dance scene.
While adapting the events of The Last of Us Part II, the seven-episode season won't be a complete recreation of the game's sequel, as co-creator Craig Mazin hinted at a potential three-season arc for the Part II story. The trailer showcases action-packed moments and emotional beats, including a unique scene featuring Joel Miller's therapy session, a deviation from the game's narrative. The trailer's red flare finale confirms the April premiere, narrowing down the previously announced Spring 2025 release window. A specific date remains unannounced.
New Footage and Familiar Faces
The recently released trailer, though featuring some previously seen footage, also includes fresh scenes. Beyond the Abby and Ellie/Dina moments, the opening alarm sequence is sure to resonate with gamers. Speculation continues around Catherine O’Hara’s role, while the trailer's Roman numeral styling pays homage to the game's sequel. The possibility of a new cast member, beyond the already confirmed additions, has also emerged among fan discussions. While Season 1 introduced original characters like Kathleen and Perry, anticipation builds for the live-action appearances of characters from Part 2, such as Jesse and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon.
