The new installment has received glowing reviews: Metacritic awarded the season 83 out of 100 points, while Rotten Tomatoes gave it an impressive 93% approval rating. Many reviewers note that the series has successfully maintained the powerful atmosphere of the original.

The storyline covers events from the acclaimed game The Last of Us Part II, transporting viewers five years after the finale of the first season. The main characters face a difficult trial - they must endure pain, brutality, and a thirst for revenge.

Critics unanimously agree that the second season turned out even darker and more emotionally intense than the first part. However, fans should prepare themselves - the season covers only the first half of the game's events, leaving viewers in tense anticipation of the continuation.

Despite the second season having just been released, HBO has already officially confirmed work on a third installment. According to preliminary information, the premiere is scheduled for 2026. It has also been revealed that the new season will feature more flashbacks exploring the characters' pasts.
