HBO Releases New Trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 Ahead of Outbreak Day

New trailer from HBO for The last of us Season 2 hints at even more intense and traumatic events to come. New threats — both human and in cordyceps virus-zombie form — will upend Joel and Ellie’s relatively peaceful existence in Jackson, Wyoming — but how far will the show go in adapting the events of The Last of Us Part 2Naughty Dog’s video game, remains to be seen. Viewers may want to book a session with their own therapist ahead of the show’s 2025 finale, just in case.

In addition to an extended look at Catherine O’Hara as Joel’s confidante, we also get an extended look at the adult Ellie and her partner Dina; a brief teaser of new antagonist Abby; and an ominous look at Jeffrey Wright, reprising his role as Isaac from the video game.

The Season 2 cast includes returning stars Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy and Rutina Wesley as Maria. New to the cast are Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny, Jeffrey Wright as Isaac and Catherine O’Hara.

The last of us Season 2 will premiere in 2025 on HBO and will stream on Max.
