The Last of Us season 2 is finally here. After years of waiting, we've finally been reunited with Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie. The show has skipped five years ahead into the future, and things are very different for the duo.
While life seems peaceful in Tommy's community in Jackson, Wyoming, tension is straining Joel and Ellie's relationship, and the infected lurk beyond. And, a dangerous new threat in the form of Katilyn Dever's Abby has entered the fray.
The new season is dropping a new episode weekly, but if you're looking for the lowdown on how and when you can watch it, then you're in the right place. We've got all the details you need below, as well as a guide to how many episodes there are in season 2 and what time new episodes arrive each week.
