Filming has wrapped on The Last of Us Season 2, but there remains extensive post-production work to go ahead of the sophomore season’s debut in 2025. Images from the HBO show’s Season 2 wrap party have emerged online, showing that the network held a pretty epic event to celebrate filming coming to a close.
“Congratulations to the incredible production crew of The Last of Us Season 2. We will bring your hard work home now!” wrote editor Timothy Good.
Prior to this, actress Isabela Merced–who plays Dina in Season 2–said she’s already seen a teaser for Season 2 and said it’s “phenomenal.” She also said Ellie actor Bella Ramsey deserves a lot of praise.
“I’m really proud of Bella. They’re working really, really hard, physically and emotionally. One thing I’ve learned throughout this is, ‘Wow, you can really admire people who are younger than you.’ You can really look up to them,” Merced said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via GamesRadar).
The Last of Us Season 2 is set to premiere in 2025 alongside another high-profile show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. In addition to Merced joining the cast as Dina, Season 2 brings on Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and Young Mazino as Jesse.
It was also recently reported that Dever required extra security detail for The Last of Us Season 2, presumably due to the controversy surrounding the character Abby.
As for the game series, Naughty Dog has heavily teased The Last of Us: Part III.
“I’ve been thinking–is there a concept there [for The Last of Us 3]? For, now years, I haven’t been able to find that concept. But recently that’s changed,” Druckmann said in an interview published in February 2024. “I don’t have a story. But I do have that concept that is, to me, as exciting as 1, as exciting as 2,” he said. “As its own thing, and yet has this throughline for all three. So it does feel like there’s probably one more chapter to this story.”
