The Last of Us Season 2 – When is it coming out?

Based on the popular 2013 PlayStation video game, HBO The last of us takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have become infected with a parasitic fungus called Cordyceps, which turns them into flesh-eating monsters.

In the series, a young girl named Ellie (played by Bella Ramsay) realizes she is immune to the virus after being bitten and not turning around. The last of us follows Ellie and a man named Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) tasked with taking them to a safe place where a militia known as the Fireflies will help find a cure using Ellie’s genetics.

However, traveling through the zombie-infested United States isn’t that easy. With swarms of flesh-eating creatures and uninfected humans trying to kill outsiders, Ellie and Joel are forced to constantly fight their way out of dangerous situations.

The season finale of The last of us aired on Sunday, March 12, and fans can’t help but wonder if the show got the green light for a second season. Read on to find out what we know about it The last of us.

Thankfully, HBO’s post-apocalyptic show isn’t doomed. Yes, The last of us was renewed for a second season

“Having pulled off this unforgettable first season, I can’t wait to see this team outshine themselves again with Season 2,” Francesca Orsi, head of HBO Drama Series and Films, said in a statement earlier this year.

Following the news of a second season, Executive Producer Neil Druckmann issued the following statement: “I’m honored, honored and frankly overwhelmed that so many people tuned in and connected to our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey.

“Working with Craig Mazin, our incredible cast and crew, and HBO has exceeded my already high expectations. Now we have the absolute pleasure of repeating that with season two,” he added.

There are currently few details about Season 2, but fans are predicting that the second episode will follow the events of Part II of the video game. Although the showrunners expanded on some storylines, like Bill and Frank’s in Episode 3, Season 1 stayed true to the game.

Bella Ramsey even hinted that a major story arc from the game will appear in Season 2. “To be honest, I’m really excited for the Ellie/Dina story,” the actress told Josh Horowitz on the Happy sad confused podcast. Well, we certainly do too!

So when can fans expect Season 2 to arrive on HBO?

According to Pedro Pascal, filming for season 2 could begin in 2023 — something the actor teased about in an interview colliders. Therefore, it can be assumed that Season 2 will not drop until 2024.
