The Last of Us season 2 release schedule: When does episode 3 premiere on Max?
Here's how and when to watch TLOU season 2

The Last of Us season 2 release schedule is in full swing. After a considerable wait, we're back in the world of clickers and bloaters, and things are looking very different now. For starters, The Last of Us season 2 story has jumped five years into the future, and the introduction of several new characters has changed the game – to say the least.
After last week's dramatic episode, life has been shattered irrevocably for the residents of Jackson, Wyoming. As Ellie, Tommy, and co. try to rebuild what's been lost, there are some things that can never be returned, and the dual threats of the infected and Kaitlyn Dever's Abby continue to lurk from the sidelines.
New episodes of season 2 are arriving weekly, but if you're looking for the lowdown on how and when you can watch it, no matter where you are in the world, then you're in the right place. We've got all the details you need below, as well as a guide to how many episodes there are in season 2 and what time new episodes arrive each week.
