What time is The Last of Us season 2 released where you are?
Season 2 couldn't come soon enough, but when exactly is it being released?
Excitement continues to steadily build for the second instalment of HBO's The Last of Us, with the hit series having already been renewed for season 3 ahead of its season 2 premiere.
If that doesn't signal the levels of anticipation and the fandom attached to both the show and the game, then we don't know what does.
We already know that this fresh batch of episodes is set to be "intense" and "crazy", marking a return for series leads Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, along with new faces like Kaitlyn Dever, Young Mazino and Catherine O'Hara.
Explaining some of what's to come, co-showrunner Craig Mazin told Radio Times magazine: "We see that they’ve actually gotten very good at this.
"They are no longer scared of confronting a stalker or two. They know how to kill them easily, and they have patrols…
"But of course, while they are progressing, so too is nature. And it’s the progress of Jackson – the fact that they have to expand and renovate old homes to bring in refugees [fleeing the undead] and house them – that is what disturbs the evolutionary balance."
