Now, given that The Last of Us season 2 is planning to split the story across multiple seasons, if this backstory plays out the same way, then viewers won't find out why Abby kills him for years yet based on the release model of the show. That's why I've been hoping that the creators – Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann – might pull this forward.

Druckmann writes and executive produces The Last of Us series with Craig Mazin ( Chernobyl ). The news came alongside a new teaser, which gives a glimpse of key sequences from the game recreated in live-action.

The Last of Us will return to HBO and Max this April. Series creative director, Neil Druckmann, announced the premiere of the show’s second season onstage at CES this evening alongside a short teaser for the new season.

The Last of Us has dropped a new trailer ahead of Season 2’s premiere on HBO. The news comes just as new information about when Season 2 will debut was revealed at Sony’s press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
