Those who missed Season 1 can still catch up before Season 2’s April premiere. Unlike the first season, which adapted the entirety of the first game, Season 2 will expand upon The Last of Us Part II, spanning multiple seasons and utilizing a “natural breakpoint” after seven episodes. The second season introduces several new characters, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. Catherine O’Hara’s role remains shrouded in mystery.

IGN’s review of Season 1 lauded the show as a “stunning adaptation,” awarding it a 9/10 score.
