The Last of Us is back for a second round. This time, the story jumps five years ahead. Ellie, now 19, is at the center of it all. Her bond with Joel has changed a lot since the first season. The show is based on a popular video game. The first season followed a global pandemic caused by a fungal infection. This season will start adapting the second game, but it will take more than one season to cover it all. The good news is that the show has already been renewed for a third season.

The second season will have seven episodes. That is two less than the first season. The episodes will air weekly on Sundays at 9 p. m. ET, starting April 13. The final episode will air on May 25. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will return as Joel and Ellie. Gabriel Luna and Rutina Wesley will also be back as Tommy and Maria. New faces include Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, and Jeffrey Wright.

The show's creator, Craig Mazin, has hinted that the show will not follow the game's plot exactly. Fans of the game know what happens, but the show might take some creative liberties. This could make the show more exciting for viewers who have not played the game. It could also make it more interesting for those who have.

To watch the show, you need a Max subscription. Max is HBO's streaming service. You can get it directly or through Prime Video. It costs $9. 99 per month with ads. Sling TV is another option. Their Blue plan with a Max add-on is a good deal. You get 50% off your first month and $5 off every month after that. This could be a good way to save money if you do not have traditional cable. But remember, streaming services can change their prices. So, it is always a good idea to check the latest offers.

The Last of Us has been a big hit. The first season won an Emmy. This season, the show will introduce several new characters. This could make the story more complex. But it could also make it more interesting. The show has a lot of potential. It could be a great way to spend your Sunday nights. But remember, the show is set in a post-apocalyptic world. It can be intense and emotional. So, be prepared for a rollercoaster of feelings.
