'The Last Of Us' Season 2 Review Scores Have Arrived

The critically acclaimed HBO adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us is back for season 2, and early reviews suggest the high quality remains. Initial scores show only a minor dip:

• Season 1: 96% critic score, 88% audience score
• Season 2: 93% critic score, audience score N/A (premieres Sunday, April 13th)

This negligible difference is further contextualized by the significantly lower number of reviews for season 2 compared to the impressive 486 reviews for season 1.

Showrunners have indicated that season 2 will cover roughly half of the second game across its seven episodes, leaving the remainder for a potential season 3. Fan speculation centers on the placement of a pivotal plot point – whether it will appear early, as in the game, or be delayed to alter the narrative flow.

The creators have confirmed they won't surpass the existing game storyline, despite one showrunner, Neil Druckmann, also being involved in the potential development of future game installments.

While The Last of Us Part 3 has been hinted at, Naughty Dog's next confirmed project is the sci-fi title Intergalactic, not expected until late 2027 at the earliest. This suggests a season 4, covering any potential new game content, is at least 5 years away, making its likelihood questionable. It's plausible that HBO and Naughty Dog will move on to other projects for the foreseeable future.

This season promises to be a major television event. Initial positive reviews address earlier fan concerns about Bella Ramsey's portrayal of an older, more hardened Ellie. The anticipation for the entire cast's performance is high.
