- The Last of Us season 2’s closing trailer has been launched
- HBO’s massively profitable TV present will return to our screens in mid-April
- Its new teaser is filled with moments pulled proper of the collection’ videogame namesake
The Last of Us season 2 is, on the time of writing, simply over a month away – and HBO has greater than whet our urge for food for its arrival with a pulsating new trailer.
Clocking in at round two minutes, the teaser was launched on-line after its worldwide debut at South by South West yesterday (March 8). I predicted season 2’s new trailer could be revealed through the present’s panel at this 12 months’s Austin, Texas-based competition, so I’m glad I used to be proper.
Anyway, the newest footage is filled with thrilling, tense, and darkish moments (actually and thematically) which have been pulled proper out of Naughty Dog’s videogame franchise of the identical identify. Suffice it to say: if The Last of Us‘ return wasn’t already certainly one of my most anticipated new collection of 2025, it actually could be now.
Watch On
There’s loads – and I imply a lot – to unpack from The Last of Us TV present’s newest trailer. The most notable second is saved for its closing few seconds, although, because it confirms that Ellie (Bella Ramsey) will finally find out about what Joel (Pedro Pascal) did in final season’s finale. I’ll chorus from spoiling that for anybody who’s nonetheless working their approach by The Last of Us season 1, however you may learn all about in my information on The Last of Us season 2 should you want a reminder or aren’t fussed about spoilers.
The incident I’m referring to additionally units up some large plot threads for season 2, which begs the query: will that extremely surprising and divisive occasion from The Last of Us Part II be part of this season’s narrative? The quick reply is: I do not know. Season 2’s newest trailer did not give us any indication that it might. Neither did The Last of Us season 2’s first trailer or one other teaser that was launched in early January.
Of course, HBO is not going to wreck one of the crucial necessary moments from the aforementioned sport forward of probably the greatest Max exhibits’ return. My greatest guess? It will occur earlier than the upcoming season ends, and would possibly even be the premise for a cliff-hanger ending that leaves us devastated and eager for the present’s in-development third season to reach ASAP.
What is the discharge date for The Last of Us season 2?
The hit present’s sophomore outing might be launched on Sunday, April 12 within the US. It’ll launch a day later (April 13) within the UK and Australia.
As for the place you may watch it, US audiences can stream it on HBO and Max – the latter being one of many world’s greatest streaming companies. UK viewers can watch it on Sky and Now TV, whereas Australians ought to tune into Binge and Foxtel.
The Last of Us season 2 solid: Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal, Kaitlyn Dever, and extra
Joining Ramsey and Pedro on the returning solid roster are Gabriel Luna as Tommy and Rutina Wesley as Maria.
Where newcomers are involved, Kaitlyn Dever is essentially the most noteworthy addition as she’s taking part in Abby, The Last of Us Part II‘s deuteragonist. Due to her significance to the story, she’ll doubtless have a co-starring position with Ramsey and Pascal all through this season.
Other confirmed faces you may count on to see in season 2 are Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Jeffrey Wright as Isaac. Catherine O’Hara will play a at the moment unnamed therapist who interacts with Pascal’s Joel, too. You can be taught extra about all of them in my season 2 hub, which I linked to earlier.
