When is The Last of Us Season 2 release date? With season one of HBO’s The Last of Us sadly ending, fans are looking ahead to season two. Luckily, Bella Ramsey has some answers for us.
Ramsey, the actor who brought Ellie to life recently appeared on UK chat show, The Jonathan Ross show. It was here she was questioned about the video game adaption, including when fans can hope to see the second season.
The Last of Us Season 2 Release Date
Although their answer was expected, fans are still sad that they will have to wait a while to see what happens next.
“It will be a while,” Ramsey said. “I think we’ll probably shoot at the end of this year, beginning of next. So it’ll probably be at the end of 2024, early 2025.”
Season two will be primarily focusing on the events of its game alternative, The Last of Us Part 2. However, screenwriter Craig Mazin has recently spoken out about how the show will incorporate the unseen moments between the games. We may even see more than two seasons.
“Obviously there’s a lot more story to tell that exists. The second game is much bigger than the first, the amount of story there is much larger,” Mazin said. “So the positive thing is it’s not like, oh, there’s just one more season. I think that there is more than one more season to do.”
What else will be new for season 2?
