The wait is finally over — The Last of Us is back!
Season 2 of the hit HBO series premieres soon, and fans are eager to know exactly when they can start watching. Picking up five years after the events of Season 1, the new season follows Joel and Ellie as they navigate a world that’s grown even more dangerous and unpredictable — and their bond is tested like never before.
So, what time does it all begin? Here’s when to catch the Season 2 premiere—plus what to expect this season and what’s ahead for the series.
You can watch The Last of Us on HBO and stream it on Max (formerly HBO Max). A subscription to Max is required to watch the series online.
Season 2 will premiere on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Season 2 will consist of seven episodes, with new episodes airing every Sunday. The season finale is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, May 25.
“Each episode is like a meal. You can have a light dinner or you can go to a 12-course French restaurant,” showrunner Craig Mazin told Entertainment Weekly in February. “We have seven episodes. They are high-calorie, dense episodes. If you consider action and drama and scope to be the things that create an epic nature, each one of these episodes packs quite a wallop. You will not be bored.”
