HBO has posted the first official glimpse at its second season of The Last of Us, which looks to adapt a portion of PS5, PS4 exclusive The Last of Us: Part II. Across just 24 seconds of footage — which first appeared in a video documenting what HBO Max has to offer between now and 2025 — we see the memorable dancing scene in Jackson, the Seraphites, Dina, Joel, Ellie, and potentially a very, very short clip of Abby. Check it out below:
The second season of the TV series is set to release at some point in 2025. It concludes an HBO video looking at what the service has coming in the future, with other TV shows featured being Dune: Prophecy, It: Welcome to Derry, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and more.
It's unclear just how much of the second game's story will be adapted for the TV show's follow-up season, though it's confirmed to be seven episodes long and ends at a "natural breaking point". Given how much additional context and plot the first season added to the overall narrative, it's possible that endpoint may not even be an event from the PS5, PS4 title.

I think we can all assume where season two ends
@Americansamurai1 I know, right? Kinda sucks to know where it’s gonna go. But can’t wait for the shock and awe that those who don’t know are going to experience.
@AhmadSumadi yeah going to shock a lot of people who never played the second game. Curious to see if fan backlash will be anything like the game.
@Americansamurai1 Absolutely! Especially with such a beloved actor!
@UncleByron should be interesting either way
@Americansamurai1 Pedro Pascal has multiple role where his character has the same ending as Joel. Some even called Pedro as Sean Bean 2.0. But i rarely hear any backlash from his fans when his character got six feet under. So, i would be surprised if there's a lot of backlash from TloU tv fans.
Can’t take that Welcome to Derry seriously. Especially after somebody took the It poster and labelled it ‘Cloyne Chapter Toy’
@PuppetMaster true I saw his character from game of thrones pretty brutal stuff.
Can’t be worse than the mountain.
Starring Tiger Woods
Even though I hated how the story turned out in the game, I'm still looking forward to Season 2. Maybe it will turn out better in TV form. At least Abby's part may not go on, and on, and on, and on....
This teaser gave me goosebumps. Greatest story in a video game I’ve played. Hopefully season 2 captures some of that greatness. Although season 1 I thought was just fine
Protect Kaitlyn Dever at all costs.
I'm anticipating season 2 could end with the reveal of who Abby actually is. Seems like Catherine O'Hara's character may be some sort of therapist or psychologist residing in Jackson.
@UncleByron It's not a very small number. It's the minority based on the sales, I'll give you that, but there are Youtube reviews that complain about TLOU2 which have millions upon millions of views.
Joel is a beloved character. If he wasn't, the first game would not have been as successful as it was. Of course people got pissed off and it had nothing to do with "DEI" either.
@KilloWertz The problem as I see it is that TV Ellie is not the same character as Game Ellie. What worries me is her capability to handle going John Wick for a whole season.
This looks incredible and I’m so pumped for it. I can only imagine ‘that moment’ will be the most viral piece of TV ever. Those who haven’t played the game will be shocked and those that have will be super intrigued to see it play out in ‘reality’.
Is that Kevin's mum in Home Alone?!
People going overboard about Joel. It's not going to be that shocking in a post game of thrones world
Doesn't even get close to red wedding level
@Swirly Yes it is, Catherine O’Hara, an actress from my favourite Christmas childhood movies Home Alone 1 & 2.
This is one of the negatives when we want movies/series to be faithful to video games, we know what to expect if the storylines are similar. I’m definitely still going to watch season 2 as I really enjoyed the first season.
Really interested to see how they handle S2 of the show.
I enjoyed TLoU: Part II a lot, but was a bit disappointed with some parts of the story, which I felt relied too heavily on plot contrivances and some characters acting out of character to get to where it needed to go. I get it, Game Dev is hard and for all we know there's a level left on the cutting room floor that would have explained some of those decisions by the characters involved. I'm hoping some of these inconsistencies in the writing are addressed in the show.
This will bring back Abby edit memes, golfclub memes and Gigachad Abby doing bodybuilding poses memes after the "event" lol. Those memes were hilarious.
@Victor_Meldrew I saved her, I saved her, it's true! Oh hi, Mark.
@LifeGirl Yeah, who knows. It's definitely a logical concern. We'll see if the actress could handle it or not.
In the end, I just hope I like the rest of the show better than I did the game. I know it might sound silly, but I'm still going to play the PS5 version of it at some point so I can refresh my memory on some things and give a much better comparison.
End episode one with the scene. Loved it in the game would love it in the show.
7 episodes apparently, so I'm guessing part 2 will be in two parts? Hopefully. Teaser looks alright
@Beerheadgamer82
They have said from the beginning that the second game would take at least two seasons to cover if not more.
@PegasusActual93 I must have missed that when they mentioned it, nice to now know
