Regarding the highly anticipated Season 2, premiering in April 2025, Orsi teased intriguing details about the factions vying for survival. She highlighted a unique visual presentation of these groups, emphasizing distinct wardrobe and makeup choices that set them apart.

For those who haven't yet experienced the gripping first season, there’s still time to catch up before Season 2's April premiere. Unlike Season 1, which fully adapted the first game, Season 2 will expand upon The Last of Us Part II, spanning multiple episodes. A "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes is planned for this season.

Season 2 introduces several new cast members, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. The role of Catherine O'Hara remains shrouded in mystery.

IGN's review of The Last of Us Season 1 lauded it as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," earning a remarkable 9/10 score.
