In celebration of “The Last of Us Day,” HBO has released an official TLOU Day teaser and art by Greg Ruth for the second season of the HBO Original drama series THE LAST OF US, based on the acclaimed video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation® consoles.

The annual TLOU Day (September 26^th) event, now in its 11th year, celebrates the franchise and its dedicated fan community. September 26 is the date on which the cordyceps virus catalyzed the events of THE LAST OF US also known as “Outbreak Day”.

Here’s what we know about the upcoming second season:

After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.

Season two returning cast includes Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, and Rutina Wesley as Maria. Previously announced new cast includes 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, and Jeffrey Wright as Isaac. Catherine O’Hara also guest stars. Ok then Beetlejuice momma sticking with the genre right now.

You have to admit that teaser gives a great glimpse into Joel and Ellie’s new world. And the scene with the zombie horde is freakin’ breathtaking.  Hopefully, it’s not a whole lot of soap opera included which I feel happened to The Walking Dead at a certain point. Nonetheless, I am ready y’all.

The second season of THE LAST OF US will debut in 2025 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
