The main cast features:
The story picks up five years after Season 1, with Joel and Ellie now living in Jackson, Wyoming. Though their life appears stable, underlying tension still exists—especially due to Joel’s actions in the Season 1 finale.
Critics have praised the production quality, action, and emotional weight of Season 2, but some reviews noted it may feel less emotionally full than the first season. According to USA TODAY, while the show is “gory and gorgeous,” it sometimes leaves viewers wanting more from each episode.
Still, the storyline is packed with major reveals, emotional turns, and a dramatic cliffhanger in the finale.
With one episode airing each Sunday through May 25, The Last of Us continues to deliver high-stakes drama and emotional storytelling. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer, now’s the perfect time to follow along weekly.
