We have made it to the end of another season of The Last of Us. Well, almost. The Last of Us season 2 finale will air this week, and it’s not an episode you’ll want to miss out on live with everyone else.

Season 2 comprises seven episodes. The Last Of Us Season 2 launched on Sunday, April 13, 2025, and the Season 2 finale will air on HBO on Sunday, May 25. New episodes of The Last of Us air on Sunday evenings on HBO at 9/8c. They also release on Max at the same time.

Season 2 of The Last of Us, which comes from co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann and finds stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning, picks up right where season 1 left

The Last of Us Season 2 is all set to premiere its season finale this weekend, when most of us are still coping with the second episode and the fact that Joel is no longer with us.

Here, in chronological order, is every time The Last of Us Season 2, episode 6 broke our hearts.

Episode 6 introduces new scenes between Joel and Ellie to tell a gentler story than the game — recalling the first season’s famously tender Bill and Frank episode.

HBO’s The Last of Us is on its way to wrap up its eventful season 2 with just one episode left. Just like season 1, the new season maintained the intensity and compelling narrative, if not elevating it with the most heartbreaking death of the franchise.

Showrunner Craig Mazin tells IndieWire about adapting a key scene from "The Last of Us Part II" to the HBO series.
