The Last of Us Season 2 Release Date Announced: Coming to HBO and Max

Fans of “The Last of Us” have been eagerly anticipating the release of season 2, and the excitement just got turned up a notch. HBO announced that the new season will premiere on Sunday, April 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and Max. While things could still change, we’re hopeful that this date will stick, as HBO is eager for the show to be eligible for the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Season 2 of “The Last of Us” will take us five years into the future after the events of season 1, aligning with the storyline of the video game “The Last of Us: Part II.” The cast includes some familiar faces like Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, as well as new characters played by actors such as Kaitlyn Dever and Isabela Merced. This season promises to introduce some major plot twists, but we won’t spoil those here.

With seven episodes airing weekly on Sunday nights, starting on April 13, now is the perfect time to catch up on season 1 if you haven’t already. You can stream it now on Max to get ready for the highly-anticipated return to the post-apocalyptic world of “The Last of Us”.
