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 footage offered glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson and the memorable scene of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) dancing.

While co-creator Craig Mazin previously 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 interspersed with emotionally resonant moments, including a scene mirroring Joel Miller's (Pedro Pascal) unseen therapy session from the game. The trailer's one-minute runtime culminates in a red flare, solidifying the April premiere date, previously narrowed down to a Spring 2025 release between March and June.

New Footage and Speculation:

The new trailer, while featuring some previously seen footage, provided fresh perspectives. The focus on Abby, the Ellie and Dina dance, and the opening alarm sequence are key highlights for fans. Speculation continues regarding Catherine O’Hara’s role, with some viewers noting the use of Roman numerals in the trailer's styling, reminiscent of Part II. The possibility of additional unannounced cast members, beyond the confirmed return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon, also fuels fan discussions. While Season 1 introduced original characters, anticipation remains high for the live-action debut of characters like Jesse from Part II.

The show's success, already lauded alongside Arcane and Fallout as a top video game adaptation, is expected to continue with this new season. The exact premiere date in April remains undisclosed, but the confirmation alone is a significant win for eager viewers.
