On HBO they did not take long to renew ‘The Last of Us‘ for a second season. The impressive success of this adaptation of the popular video game Naughty Dog He made it a simple decision -if he even managed to break records that were out of the reach of ‘The House of the Dragon’-, but what is not going to be so much is making it a reality and that we can all see it.
Now it’s time to review everything we know about season 2 of ‘The Last of Us’ until now. The information about the new episodes is still not abundant, but this article will be updated whenever something new arises to do justice to its name.
The history
Season 2 of ‘The Last of Us’ will be based on the second video game, which takes place five years after the events we saw in the first installment.

In addition, a new character named Abby will have a fundamental weight in the story, to the point that a good part of the video game focuses on her.
When does season 2 of ‘The Last of Us’ premiere on HBO?
You are going to have to wait a long time until you can see season 2. The most likely release date is end of 2024 or maybe even the beginning of 2025. On what basis do I make that prediction? Simple, HBO still hasn’t even set the recording date for the new episodes and ‘The Last of Us’ is a series that requires a lot of work. Let’s keep in mind that the first one started shooting in July 2021 and then it wasn’t released until January 2023…

The big unknown is knowing who will play Abby, a key character who will undoubtedly give a lot to talk about.
For his part, craig mazin and Neil Druckman They will continue to act as showrunners and everything indicates that they will also be in charge of the scripts for the new episodes. In the end, they both wrote all of the first season, with Mazin taking care of six solo, Druckmann one, and the remaining two with both sharing the task.
