No new episode of The Last of Us on HBO tonight
HBO will not air a new episode of The Last of Us tonight, June 1, as the Season 2 finale aired last week. Season 2 concluded with Episode 7, titled “Convergence,” which ended the season’s arc with a dramatic narrative shift to Abby’s storyline.
Although there are no new episodes, HBO will air a The Last of Us Season 2 marathon today. The marathon begins at 12:36 p.m. ET and continues until 7:02 p.m. ET. Viewers can rewatch the entire second season, which featured seven episodes.
The second season adapted the early events of The Last of Us Part II, including perspectives from Ellie, Joel, and Abby. With the narrative now transitioning to Abby’s story, fans are looking ahead to what the next season will explore.
HBO confirms The Last of Us season 3 in development
HBO renewed The Last of Us for a third season on April 9, 2025. According to co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, Season 3 will continue adapting The Last of Us Part II, focusing more extensively on Abby’s experience and the Seraphite conflict.
“There is another side to this story that we have yet to really delve into,” Mazin said in a virtual press conference. He added that Abby will be positioned as the central character in her narrative arc.
Mazin and Druckmann also addressed several unresolved questions from Season 2, such as the origins of the Seraphites, the fate of their prophet, and Isaac’s motivations. These elements are expected to be central in the third season.
While there is no confirmed release date, production timelines suggest The Last of Us Season 3 could premiere as early as late 2026. However, given historical delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, early 2027 remains a more likely estimate.
