HBO is not keeping fans waiting, announcing an early renewal of The Last of Us for season three. Season two is set to premiere on April 13, 2025, with new episodes of the seven episode season airing on Sundays at 9pm ET/PT.

“We approached season two with the goal of creating something we could be proud of. The end results have exceeded even our most ambitious goals, thanks to our continued collaboration with HBO and the impeccable work of our unparalleled cast and crew,” said Craig Mazin, creator, executive producer, writer, and director. “We look forward to continuing the story of The Last of Us with season three!”

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey return to lead the season two cast as Joel and Ellie. Season two also stars Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Rutina Wesley as Maria, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, and Ariela Barer as Mel. Tati Gabrielle is Nora, Spencer Lord is Owen, Danny Ramirez is Manny, and Jeffrey Wright is Isaac.

Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) guest stars.

“To see The Last of Us brought to life so beautifully and faithfully has been a career highlight for me, and I am grateful for the fans’ enthusiastic and overwhelming support,” stated Neil Druckmann, creator, executive producer, writer, and director. “Much of that success is thanks to my partner in crime, Craig Mazin, our partnership with HBO, and our team at PlayStation Productions. On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog, our cast, and crew, thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity. We’re thrilled to bring you more of The Last of Us!”

Based on Naughty Dog’s video game, the critically acclaimed series is written and executive produced by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. Carolyn Strauss, Jacqueline Lesko, Cecil O’Connor, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, and Evan Wells also executive produce, with Halley Gross writing and co-executive producing.

HBO offers this season two synopsis: “Five years after the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie are drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.”
