The very first season of The Last of Us gave us all high hopes for video game TV series adaptations when it premiered on January 15, 2023. Fortunately, by all accounts, it has wildly succeeded. Critics and audiences alike have universally given it positive reviews and praise for, well, virtually everything about it. Its performances, writing, production design, and score have all earned the series that praise. Several critics have even gone so far as to call it the best adaptation ofa video game in history, which should tell you just how good it is.

Thus, you can now understand why HBO MAX is so eager to make a second season for The Last of Us. And by extension: why they’re so eager to hype up the upcoming season with a new teaser trailer. All in time for The Last of Us Day to boot. Don’t believe me? Then why not check out the teaser below, and see for yourself just how much more traumatized you can get in this upcoming second season?

The Last of Us Season 2: The Last of Us Day Official Teaser Details

I can sense the trauma incoming already.

To celebrate “The Last of Us Day”, HBO is proud to present a TLOU Day official teaser for The Last of Us season 2 on YouTube. Why today, you might ask? Well, within the game and the TV series, September 26 is the day that mutant Cordyceps fungus kickstarted the zombie apocalypse. Thus, it has become the official day for celebrating the franchise.

And to further celebrate the franchise, HBO also gives us an idea of when we’ll get to see this second season. According to the teaser, The Last of Us season 2 will make its debut sometime in 2025. The exact date will be something we will look out for later. However, you can watch the first season to catch up only on MAX.
