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 showcase delivered 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 co-creator Craig Mazin hinted that adapting The Last of Us Part II might span three seasons, this seven-episode season will likely take creative liberties with the source material. The trailer showcased action sequences and emotional moments, including a scene depicting Joel Miller's (Pedro Pascal) therapy, a deviation from the game. The brief, action-packed trailer, culminating in a red flare, narrowed down the previously announced Spring 2025 release window to a specific April premiere. A precise date remains undisclosed.

New Footage and Familiar Faces:

The new trailer, while featuring some previously seen footage, provided fresh looks at key characters and scenes. Abby's appearance generated significant buzz, as did the Ellie and Dina dance sequence. The opening alarm also resonated with gamers, evoking chilling memories from the game. Speculation continues regarding Catherine O'Hara's role, with fans noting the trailer's Roman numeral styling, a nod to the game's sequel.

Beyond O'Hara's mystery character, fans are anticipating the live-action debuts of characters like Jesse (Young Mazino) and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon, reprising his voice acting role from the game. Season 1 introduced original characters like Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey) and Perry (Jeffrey Pierce), alongside Florence (Elaine Miles) and Marlon (Graham Greene). The anticipation for familiar faces from Part II remains high.
