The Last of Us season 2 release schedule is here to make your life a little easier - especially with what an emotional rollercoaster this season as been. After a considerable wait, we're back in the world of clickers and bloaters, and things are looking very different now. The show has jumped five years into the future and sees an older, more independent Ellie and a wizened, but hardened Joel.

Episode 2 saw life change as they know it for everyone, including the residents of Jackson, Wyoming. As Ellie and Dina set out on a mission for revenge, there's plenty of new dangers lurking around every corner - and if you haven't played the video game, it's hard to anticipate what's next.

New episodes of The Last of Us season 2 air on a weekly basis, and we've got on the lowdown on how and when you can watch it, no matter where you are in the world. We've got everything you need to know down below, as well as a guide to how many episodes there are in season 2 and what time new episodes arrive each week.
