HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 will feature previously unseen content from the game's development, including "brutal" scenes from the game's cut "Lost Levels," according to showrunner Neil Druckmann. These levels, partially restored in the PS5 remaster, include Jackson Party, The Hunt, and Seattle Sewers – offering a range of tones from calmer moments to intense horror sequences.
Druckmann also hinted at a significant character's inclusion, only mentioned in the game, echoing Season 1's introduction of Frank. This, combined with the restored cut content, promises a thrilling and intense season.

Season 2 introduces a substantial cast, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. Catherine O'Hara's role, however, remains a mystery.
The first episode premieres in April, but the adaptation of The Last of Us Part II will extend beyond a single season. Showrunner Craig Mazin explained that the game's story necessitates a multi-season approach, with Season 2 concluding at a "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes, leaving the possibility of a Season 3 open.
