Enthusiasts of HBO’s “The Last of Us” are struggling to keep their anticipation in check, as season 2 is set to premiere within a few brief months. Based on Naughty Dog’s second installment in the series, “The Last of Us: Part 2,” post-apocalyptic fans will undoubtedly be thrilled to discover that two writers from the game are teaming up for the last two episodes of the show.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of “The Last of Us” after a dramatic finale cliffhanger left Ellie questioning Joel’s trustworthiness. The anticipated second season seems to be edging closer with some fans even revealing its potential release date. For new viewers, the series can be enjoyed without prior knowledge of the PlayStation games, but for those who have experienced the harrowing sequel, season two promises to deliver the same raw emotion. However, it has been confirmed by Craig Mazin that this season will only consist of seven episodes, significantly fewer than its predecessor which had nine.

The Last of Us Season 2 Sees Game Writers Team Up for Two Episodes

As a devoted fan of The Last of Us, I’ve got some exciting news to share! From what I’ve gathered on X (previously Twitter), it seems that Neil Druckmann, who co-created the game’s narrative along with Halley Gross, will be co-writing the final two episodes of season 2. In the first season, Craig Mazin, renowned for his work on the historical disaster drama miniseries Chernobyl, penned all episodes except for the premiere, finale, and the seventh one, which were co-written by Druckmann, and the seventh episode itself, written solely by Druckmann. Now, it appears that Gross, Druckmann, and Mazin are joining forces to bring us the thrilling conclusions of episodes 6 and 7. I can hardly wait!

In the sneak peek of season two for HBO’s “The Last of Us,” eager fans caught glimpses of intense scenes reminiscent of “The Last of Us Part 2.” Ellie is depicted readying herself to attack Nora, surrounded by a vibrant red setting, while Abby is shown walking along a hospital corridor as an alarm blares ominously, foreshadowing a distressing moment for her character.

The Last of Us Season 2 will be released on Max in April 2025.
