HBO has finally set the date—The Last of Us Season 2 is officially premiering on April 13, 2025. After a long two-year wait, fans will get seven new episodes, released weekly. Along with the announcement, HBO dropped new character posters featuring Joel (Pedro Pascal), Ellie (Bella Ramsey), and the much-anticipated arrival of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). Each poster carries the line "Every path has a price," hinting at the emotional weight of what’s coming.

Season 2 jumps forward five years, with Joel and Ellie still dealing with the fallout from that fateful night at the Firefly hospital. Joel’s decision—and the lie he told Ellie—still lingers between them. Meanwhile, Abby’s arrival is about to change everything. Ellie’s guitar, seen in her poster, is more than just a prop—it’s a symbol of the journey she’s about to take.

With the first season setting a new gold standard for video game adaptations, expectations for Season 2 couldn’t be higher. The stakes are bigger, the emotions deeper, and the story even more intense.
