Joel rides on a horse with Ellie in The Last of Us.

The Last of Us will return this spring. At Sony's press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show, co-creator, writer, and executive producer Neil Druckmann announced The Last of Us season 2 will premiere in April. Consisting of seven episodes, season 2 will air on HBO and stream on Max.

Druckmann's announcement was accompanied by a new video from season 2. The brief teaser opens with Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, one of the new characters in season 2. Fans of the game know Abby will play an important role this season, and her controversial actions will be extremely polarizing with fans. "It doesn't matter if you have a code like me," Abby ominously says as she walks down a hallway with a gun in hand. "There are just some things everyone agrees are just wrong."
