As a seasoned gamer and survivor of countless apocalyptic video games, I can’t help but feel the anticipation building for The Last of Us season 2. But alas, we must wait until 2025 to reunite with Ellie and Joel. In the meantime, let me guide you through some thrilling shows that will satisfy your post-apocalyptic cravings.


In the year 2025, the second season of “The Last of Us” will make its debut. To pass the time until then, consider checking out these eight excellent series as alternatives.

HBO unveiled a second tantalizing sneak peek for the eagerly awaited second installment of “The Last of Us”, and it’s got us buzzing with anticipation! Followers of the post-apocalyptic series are on pins and needles, eager to reunite with Ellie and Joel (portrayed by Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal). The latest teaser hints that Ellie and Joel will savor some tranquil years before more strife comes their way. Yet, what else could Joel anticipate? His hidden truth wasn’t destined to stay concealed forever.

As of now, there’s no announced air date for The Last of Us season 2. However, it’s speculated that it might premiere in 2025. Rest assured, we’ll share updates as they come. In the interim, here are eight series similar to The Last of Us that you might enjoy.

If you’re on the hunt for intense excitement, let me recommend “The Walking Dead” to you! If this doesn’t excite you, I’m not sure what will. This post-apocalyptic horror drama revolves around a group of survivors battling to survive in a world overrun by the undead and other dangerous humans with questionable intentions. Despite my personal preference for only watching a few seasons, it remains one of the most popular series in its genre. Just be aware that you might not find the entire series enjoyable, but there’s no shortage of similar thrilling shows to explore!

Some well-known offshoots of the TV series “TWS” are “Fear: The Walking Dead,” “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” and “The Walking Dead: Those Who Survive.” You can catch up on “TWD” on AMC+ or Netflix.

If you’re seeking an engaging post-apocalyptic series with a shorter time commitment than “The Walking Dead,” give “Black Summer” on Netflix a try. With only two seasons currently streaming, there are no plans for more episodes at the moment. It’s an exciting and enjoyable watch if you’re in search of something brief and entertaining.

In contrast to shows like “The Walking Dead” and “The Last of Us,” the series titled “Black Summer” unfolds roughly six weeks after the zombie outbreak. Unlike those series, it delves into the perspectives of multiple characters, with a primary focus on a mother named Rose (played by Jaime King), who becomes separated from her daughter during the initial wave of the apocalypse.
