For those who haven't yet experienced the first season, there's still time to get up to speed before The Last of Us Season 2 premieres in April. Unlike Season 1, which encapsulated the entirety of the first game, HBO plans to stretch The Last of Us Part 2 over multiple seasons. Season 2 will conclude after seven episodes at a "natural breakpoint."
New characters will join the saga in Season 2, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. The role of Catherine O'Hara remains shrouded in mystery, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
IGN's The Last of Us: Season 1 review praised the series as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," awarding it a remarkable 9/10 score.
