One of my favorite shows from the last few years is returning! Here is when and where you can watch season 2 of The Last of Us series in India.
The Last of Us Season 2 Release Schedule in India
After the tremendous success of this video game adaptation, HBO is bringing us the next chapter in this post-apocalyptic story.
The Last of Us season 2 will premiere in India on 14 April 2025. The exact release time for the episodes will be 6:30 AM IST.
Note that the episodes will be released on Sunday evening in the USA, which means Monday morning in India due to the time difference.
There will be 7 episodes in this season, fewer than the 9 episodes we had last time. This is because they are breaking the story from the second edition of the video game in two seasons. So, season 3 is also in the works.
The finale will be dropping on 26 May in India. If you are a binge-watcher, save this date. You can then watch all the episodes back-to-back.
Season 1 was released in January 2023, so there will be around a 2-year and 2-month gap between the two seasons.
Where to Watch The Last of Us in India?
All the new episodes of The Last of Us season 2 will be streaming on JioHotstar in India. Viewers can enjoy it in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
Hotstar has been the main streaming partner of HBO shows in India for a very long time. The first season did its debut there as well. However, JioCinema later acquired HBO’s content rights in the country. Later, JioCinema and Hotstar merged, and now we have JioHotstar.
Watch The Last of Us in India here:
As a fan of Hollywood movies and shows, JioHotstar is an all-in-one package. We get Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Disney, HBO, Paramount, and Universal titles in a single subscription.
You can watch the official trailer here:
One more good thing this time will be the option of so many dubbed versions. Jio has been consistent in this case. I watch Hollywood content in English only, but I know there is a good chunk of Indian influence who prefer to watch in their local language.
In the USA, the episodes will be available on MAX (or HBO MAX).
About The Show
The Last of Us is one of the most popular video games, and the creators of the show also did an amazing job adapting it into a TV show.
It is quite rare to see a great cinematic version of a video game from the entertainment industry. Many movies and shows have failed to capture the true essence of the games, but not this one.
The Last of Us was a massive hit among gamers and fans of drama shows.
Let’s now talk about the story! While the debut season was based on the 2014 video game, this season (along with the 3rd one) will be adapting the 2020 sequel of the video game.
Pedro Pascal (Joel) and Bella Ramsey (Ellie) will be returning in the leading roles. They will be joined by some new cast members like Isabela Merced, Kaitlyn Dever, and Jeffery Wright.
Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann will also be back as the showrunners for the second season. Druckmann is the same guy who had written and directed the games as well.
Here’s a Fun Fact: Marvel’s Loki season 1 director, Kate Herron, will direct the 4th episode of The Last of Us season 2.
The Last of Us is set in a world where a fungus has destroyed human civilization and turned most humans into zombie-like creatures. Season 2 will start five years after the ending of season 1, where Joel and Ellie will have to confront their past’s secrets and new threats.
Takeaways
Now you know about the release date and time of The Last of Us season 2 in India. The reviews are already out, and critics showed the same level of appreciation this time. So, I also have high expectations this time.
