Last of Us Season 2 Gets Premiere Month, New Trailer

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. A new trailer confirmed the highly anticipated second season will premiere in April. The trailer offered glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson and the memorable scene of Dina (Isabela Merced) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) sharing a dance.

While adapting the events of The Last of Us Part II, the seven-episode season likely won't be a complete recreation of the game's storyline. Co-creator Craig Mazin previously hinted that Part II's narrative might span three seasons. The trailer showcases several action-packed moments and emotional beats, including a scene hinting at Joel Miller's (Pedro Pascal) therapy, a deviation from the game. The trailer's conclusion, featuring a red flare, solidifies the April premiere, narrowing down the previously announced Spring 2025 release window. A specific date remains undisclosed.

New Footage and Familiar Faces

Though much of the new trailer reuses footage from last year's teaser, key additions include fresh shots of Dever's Abby and the iconic dance sequence. The opening alarm also triggered nostalgic chills for many gamers. Speculation continues regarding Catherine O'Hara's role, while the Roman numeral styling in the trailer mirrors Part II's aesthetic. Beyond O'Hara, fans are anticipating the live-action debuts of characters like Jesse, and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon, reprising his voice acting role from the game. Season 1 successfully introduced original characters, and Season 2 promises a compelling blend of familiar and new faces.
