The Last of Us HBO series will be heading into production early in 2024 with the plan to air sometime in 2025, according to HBO boss Casey Bloys in an event in New York and reported by Deadline.
Season 2 was renewed in January of this year due to the popularity of the first season.
"We've outlined all of season 2 and we're ready to go as soon as the strike ends," said executive producer Neil Druckmann in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in September.
Druckmann when the show was renewed for a second season stated, "I’m humbled, honored, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey. The collaboration with Craig Mazin, our incredible cast & crew, and HBO exceeded my already high expectations. Now we have the absolute pleasure of being able to do it again with season two! On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog & PlayStation, thank you!"
The Last of Us HBO TV series helped boost the sales of the games the series is based on and as of early May was averaging nearly 32 million viewers per episode in the US. The only show to have higher viewership in the US is the seventh and eighth seasons of Game of Thrones. It is the most watched show ever on HBO Max in Europe and Latin America.

The question is will it launch before or after ND's new game. Also this should give ND enough time to remake TLOU p2 remake and release it in a good condition on both pc and PS5.
Loved the first season, was hoping season 2 would release next year.
I doubt it will cover most of TLoU2, would think they would actually cover mostly the years in between in Jackson and finish the season with that tragic event early on from TLoU2.
