Sun Nov 17 01:54:34 UTC 2024: ## HBO Teases The Last of Us Season 2, Hints at Late 2025 Release

**Los Angeles, CA – November 11, 2024** – A brief glimpse of HBO’s highly anticipated *The Last of Us* Season 2 was revealed during a promotional video showcasing upcoming programming. The clip, shown after the finale of *The Penguin*, offers a fleeting look at the strained relationship between Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) following the events of Season 1. The preview notably features Joel’s guitar, a significant item from the game, being passed to Ellie, and includes a scene with the show’s original character, a therapist played by Catherine O’Hara.

The placement of *The Last of Us* Season 2 at the end of the promotional reel suggests a potential late 2025 release. Co-director Neil Druckmann has previously indicated that adapting *The Last of Us Part II* will require multiple seasons, and has hinted at the possibility of a *Part III* adaptation as well.

The promotional video also highlighted other upcoming HBO and Max shows, including *Dune: Prophecy* (later this month), the DC Universe-launching animated series *Creature Commandos* (December), and *Peacemaker* Season 2. Returning series such as *The White Lotus*, *The Gilded Age*, and *The Righteous Gemstones* were also featured, all slated for release in 2025.
