The HBO adaptation of The Last of Us is set to continue, with season 2 focusing on the events of the second video game. The new season is expected to be released in 2025 and will consist of seven episodes. The cast includes Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, and Pedro Pascal as Joel, and the season will feature a "less is more" approach to storytelling. The showrunners are also hinting at future seasons that could potentially explore new content beyond the second game. While the show is expected to be faithful to the source material, it is unclear how many seasons will be needed to tell the complete story.
