Viewers in the UK will need access to Sky Atlantic or Now TV, while in Canada, a Crave subscription is required. The episode will be released simultaneously across all platforms.

Global Release Times

The international premiere time will depend on local time zones. In Canada, the episode will air at 9:00 PM; in Brazil — at 10:00 PM. In Portugal and Western Europe, the episode will become available at 2:00 AM on April 14, the same as in the UK.

How Many Episodes Are in The Last of Us Season 2?

Season 2 will consist of only seven episodes — fewer than the first season, which had nine. While HBO shows typically range from 8 to 10 episodes, this shorter format was chosen to better suit the story’s development.

Release Schedule

The release schedule for Season 2 of The Last of Us is as follows:

• Episode 1: Future Days — April 13, 2025
• Episode 2 — April 20, 2025
• Episode 3 — April 27, 2025
• Episode 4 — May 4, 2025
• Episode 5 — May 11, 2025
• Episode 6 — May 18, 2025
• Episode 7 — May 25, 2025

Each episode will air on Sundays in the U.S. and become available on Mondays in other countries.

But why only seven episodes instead of nine like in the first season? According to the creators, the decision was made for narrative reasons. Episode 7 concludes a major story arc that will continue in the next season.

So there’s no need to be upset — in fact, the creative team deserves credit for not stretching the runtime just to hit a nine-episode count.
