 What is the release date of The Last of Us Season 2?

As of now, there has been no official release date announced. The final episode was released on March 12, 2023. Hence we can rule out the possibility of the show being released this year. Bella Ramsey confirmed in an interview that the series will return for its second season in 2025.

She said, “It will be a while. I think we’ll shoot at the end of this year, beginning of next. So it’ll probably be the end of 2024, early 2025.” Hence, one thing is for sure that we are not getting the release dates anytime soon. The update has also been confirmed by the head of HBO, Francesca Orsi, who told Deadline that the second season is estimated to be released in 2025.

What will be the plot of The Last of Us Season 2?

We can assume that The Last of Us season 2 will follow the events from the second part of the game. We can guess a few events which might take place in the next season.

*Spoilers Alert*

The second game features the time five years forward from the events of part 1 of The Last of Us. Followed by a few events, Ellie and Dina find out Joel is dead, and Abby is the one to blame. Later it is just Ellie, Tommy, and Dina on their way to find Abby. Many more such events take place in the second part. This is sad to know that Joel will not be making it far in the story; also, we won’t be seeing Pedro Pascal in most of the part of the show. This confirms that The Last of Us season 2 will have lots of twists and turns.
