Mon Apr 14 01:30:00 UTC 2025: ## The Last of Us Returns: HBO’s Emmy-Winning Hit Kicks Off Season 2 This Sunday
**Los Angeles, CA** – Get ready for another emotionally charged journey into the post-apocalyptic world of *The Last of Us*. HBO’s critically acclaimed zombie drama returns for its highly anticipated second season this Sunday, April 13th, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Season 2, comprising seven episodes, picks up five years after the events of Season 1, finding Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) grappling with a world even more perilous and unpredictable than before. Their relationship will be tested as they face new conflicts and dangers.
The show, a critically acclaimed adaptation of the popular video game franchise, garnered eight Emmy Awards last year and a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series. Its success has led to HBO renewing the series for a third season even before the premiere of Season 2. While a potential fourth season remains under consideration, the creators, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, have previously hinted at a possible four-season run.
Season 2 promises more of the gripping storytelling and stunning visuals that defined the first season, depicting a world ravaged by a Cordyceps fungal infection that transforms humans into monstrous creatures. New episodes will air every Sunday, culminating in a season finale on May 25th. Both new and old episodes will be available to stream on Max.
