After what has felt like an eternity, HBO has finally revealed when audiences can expect to enjoy the new season of their immensely popular video game adaption, The Last of Us.
The second season will debut on April 13 at 9PM ET/PT. The Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin series will take over the Sunday marquee time slot from The White Lotus after its third season finale.
Though HBO has released a series of images and character posters, they've yet to debut a trailer. We're still unsure how much of the story will derive from the source material. Recently, HBO executive Francesca Orsi said that due to the expansive nature of The Last Of Us: Part II game, four seasons will likely be required to address the entire story. So, one would assume that this season, featuring seven episodes, won't cover too much of the plot from that entry.
The second season picks up five years from where we left off. Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) are drawn into conflict with each other and a world that has become more dangerous and unpredictable.
In addition to Ramsey and Pascal, Gabriel Luna and Rurina Wesley are set to reprise their original roles. Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, Jeffrey Wright, and Catherine O'Hara are joining the ranks, giving the Emmy-winning series a power boost in its next outing.
