Catch up on Season 1 before Season 2 premieres in April! Unlike Season 1, which adapted the first game completely, Season 2 will span multiple episodes, utilizing a “natural breakpoint” after seven episodes to cover The Last of Us Part II.

Season 2 introduces several new characters: Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. Catherine O'Hara's role remains a mystery.

IGN's review of The Last of Us Season 1 awarded it a 9/10, praising it as a "stunning adaptation" that will resonate with both newcomers and fans of the game.
