If you haven't yet experienced the first season, there's still time to catch up before Season 2 premieres in April. Unlike Season 1, which adapted the first game in its entirety, Season 2 will extend beyond a single season, utilizing a “natural breakpoint” after seven episodes.

Season 2 will introduce several new characters, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. Catherine O’Hara’s role remains shrouded in mystery.

IGN's review of The Last of Us Season 1 awarded the show a 9/10, praising it as a "stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike."
