The Last of Us Season 2 Unveils First Teaser and Sets Release Window on HBO

Iconic moments from the second game are revealed in the first teaser.

We’re about to suffer again. HBO’s The Last of Us was one of last year’s big surprises, raising the bar for video game adaptations in other media. With a second season confirmed and several leaks from the set, it was only a matter of time before we had an official trailer. That day has come, and we finally have a teaser for The Last of Us Season 2 that defines its release window.

Following the Season 2 finale of House of the Dragon, HBO has released this first look at the continuation of Joel and Ellie’s adventure with a teaser that, while short, features several iconic scenes from The Last of Us Part 2.

Along with this trailer, we can see a concrete release window, which for now indicates that the second season will arrive in 2025. It is not something concrete, but at least we know that we will not have to wait long to see Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey again in the iconic roles.

The Last of Us, a series that knew how to preserve its essence

Before the first season of The Last of Us premiered, the idea of a series left us wondering how Naughty Dog’s masterpiece would be adapted. Against all odds, the series has managed to get the concept of the video game right. As we said in our review of the first season: “Joel and Ellie, although physically different, are very well portrayed by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The attitude of both characters and the chemistry that develops throughout their journey are always present. The post-apocalyptic world is there, furthermore, it expands to give us a greater context of the virus and the world before the pandemic happened. The video game story is also present, albeit with some changes and deviations along the way, but always returning to the important plot points. Some sacrifices are understandable, the gameplay as a narrative tool takes a break to give priority to exploring this universe and its characters through a cinematographic language that gives the viewer, both those who have already played the title and those who are just discovering it, what the experience of what The Last of Us is all about.”
