HBO's The Last of Us Season 2: April Premiere Confirmed, New Trailer Unveiled
Sony's CES 2025 presentation delivered exciting news for fans of The Last of Us: Season 2 will premiere on HBO in April. The announcement came with a new trailer showcasing Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and the memorable Dina and Ellie dance scene.
While the sequel's story arc is expected to span multiple seasons (possibly three, as hinted by co-creator Craig Mazin), this seven-episode season will adapt select events from The Last of Us Part II. The trailer, clocking in at just over a minute, features action-packed sequences and emotionally resonant moments, culminating in a red flare signifying the April premiere. This confirms the previously announced Spring 2025 release window, narrowing it down from the March-June timeframe. A specific date remains undisclosed.
The trailer, while featuring some previously released footage, offers fresh glimpses of key scenes. The new shots include a closer look at Dever's Abby, the iconic dance sequence between Dina and Ellie, and a chilling opening alarm that will resonate with gamers. Speculation continues regarding Catherine O'Hara's role, and the Roman numeral styling in the trailer has been noted as a nod to the game's sequel.
Beyond O'Hara's mystery character, fans are actively dissecting the trailer for clues about other potential cast additions. While Season 1 introduced original characters, anticipation is high for live-action portrayals of familiar faces from Part II, such as Jesse and the return of Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon.
