The Last of Us Season 2 Finale Approaches Amid Suspense

LOS ANGELES, CA — The heart-wrenching second season of HBO‘s hit series The Last of Us is set to conclude with its finale, airing on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST. This final episode promises to address lingering questions as viewers anticipate whether Ellie will find her long-sought revenge against Abby for Joel‘s death.

This season has taken fans through an emotional rollercoaster, particularly after Joel Miller, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, was killed by Abby early in the season. Since then, his presence has been primarily felt through flashbacks, providing crucial context to his relationship with Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey.

The sixth episode featured significant flashbacks that touched on Joel’s developmental years with his brother Tommy, revealing their abusive father, Javier Miller, portrayed by Tony Dalton. These memories were pivotal in understanding Joel’s past choices and his efforts to protect those he loved.

As for Ellie, she is determined to confront Abby after Joel’s tragic exit from the series. Viewers are left to wonder what measures Ellie will take to seek vengeance. A line in episode six noted that she won’t find peace until she confronts Abby, heightening the tension as the finale approaches.

Episode six also explored Ellie’s relationship with her girlfriend, Dina, played by Ashley Johnson, as they navigate the complex dynamics introduced by their tumultuous environment. The upcoming finale is expected to tackle these intricate relationships, possibly leading to a significant turning point in Ellie’s character arc.

The Last of Us season two debuted on April 13 and has been a significant topic of discussion among viewers, especially given the show’s departure from some of the source material. With the finale running between 50 and 60 minutes, fans can expect intense emotional stakes and surprises.

As HBO prepares for upcoming streaming content later this month, anticipation for The Last of Us season 2 finale continues to build. Creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have teased a season filled with emotion, action, and unforgettable moments, keeping fans engaged and eager for what comes next.
