TheLastOfUs_S2Art1-202x300For fans of the Playstation game and/or the HBO series THE LAST OF US September 26 is a very significant day. It is on this date that the cordyceps virus propelled the events depicted in the game and series. September 26 is Outbreak Day.  

In acknowledgment of that deadly day, HBO has not only dropped the usual bullet points about its adaptation of the saga, as seen through the eyes of Joel & Ellie, but has dropped Key Art and a Teaser for Season Two; a season we will not see until well into 2025. 

A press release has the details:

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

 

Following a record-breaking first season as the most-watched debut season of a series ever for HBO, the second season of THE LAST OF US will debut in 2025 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. 

Season 2 logline: 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.
