How Many Episodes The Last Of Us Season 2 Has Left
The Last of Us Season 2 Has A Total Of 7 Episodes, With 3 To Go
In keeping with the general streaming trend of the 2020s, HBO's season lengths have decreased, with The Last of Us included. The show's first season had nine episodes, but season 2 has been reduced to seven in total. With this being the fifth episode of the season, there will only be two more after it. That still leaves plenty of time for some notable events to progress, given that each episode should be around an hour long. Still, it likely won't make it through all the events of The Last of Us Part II, the game it adapts.
