The Last of Us season 2 is only a few months away from premiering, but we still don't have an exact release date for the new batch of episodes. The only official update so far is that season 2 will premiere sometime in April 2025, but fans think they've worked out when exactly the season premiere will air.

The Last of Us airs in HBO's coveted Sunday night slot, so it's already narrowed down to four potential dates. What's more, The White Lotus season 3, which starts on February 16, airs through April 6 on Sunday evenings. It makes sense, then, that The Last of Us would take over the programming slot from Mike White's comedy-drama and therefore start airing on Sunday, April 13.
