HBO has confirmed that ‘The Last of Us‘ Season 2 will be released in 2025. A brief preview of Season 2 has been recently revealed, and you can watch it below.
Recently, ‘The Last of Us’ has earned three nominations for the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards, including Best Drama Series, Best Actress in a Drama Series for Bella Ramsey, and Best Actor in a Drama Series for Pedro Pascal.
The filming for season 2 is now scheduled to start on February 20, 2024, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with filming expected to wrap on September 9, 2024. The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann on Season 2, “My focus on The Last of Us’ next season has remained the same — Craig and I want to create a great season of television that stays true to the themes and intent of the original Part II story while adapting the story as best we can for a different medium.”
In Season 2, Pascal and Ramsey will return to their roles as Joel Miller and Ellie Williams. Additionally, the new cast member Shannon Berry has been rumored for the role of Abby Anderson.
In an interview with LADBIBLE, Ramsey said she thinks ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 will top Season 1. She said, “I know that that’s like the big fear that all of us working on the show, and probably the rest of the world have, is that season two isn’t going to be as good as season one.” She added, “But I have a lot of faith in the creators. and I think they’re spectacular. So I think we’re going to do great. I think we will top it.”
Based on the 2013 video game of the same name, developed by Naughty Dog, the series follows Joel (Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting Ellie (Ramsey), a teenage girl, across the post-apocalyptic United States, and Joel’s younger brother and former militiaman, Tommy (Gabriel Luna). Along the way, they encounter fellow survivors, cutthroat bandits, and monstrous clickers who have become so infected by the disease that fungi sprout from their bodies. Created and written by Craig Mazin and Druckmann for HBO.
‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on HBO in early 2025.
