• The second season of “The Last of Us” premieres on Max on April 13th.
• Viewers can watch the show by subscribing to Sling TV, getting 50% off their first month, and adding the Max bundle.

Joel and Ellie are still fighting their way through a cordyceps-pandemic-stricken post-apocalyptic world. Season 2 of the HBO video game-turned-hit-TV-series is back on Sunday, April 13. The first episode of the new season will air on Max, which you can add-on to a Sling subscription to watch all season.

Season 2 will pick up five years after the first season, as Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) try to settle down. The first season, which debuted in 2023, brought us drama, action and heartbreak all in one, so you don’t want to miss a second of season 2. And if you need to recover with a comedy after this one, Max has you covered with the newest season of Hacks.

Here’s how to watch ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 on Max with Sling:
