The Last of Us series has been gaining huge views on the HBO platform, as well as very positive opinions about the series, as the cast continues this journey with a second season of the series that will cover the events of the second season, and after revealing some of the new actors, a source mentioned the exact number of episodes.

According to insider Daniel Richtman of the "X" platform, he shared some information he knew about the second season of The Last of Us, the most prominent of which was that the second season would have seven episodes. This number appears to be two full episodes less than the first season, which had nine episodes, but if this is indeed the case, we should see a longer runtime for the same episodes that air.

This information is still largely unofficial, and we will wait for any official confirmation from the HBO platform or the show's directors about the number of episodes that are expected to be shown, and until there is some official word, it is better not to take any of the leaked words seriously, regardless of the fact that "Daniel" is one of the important sources and rarely provides false information.

It's worth noting that it was announced weeks ago that Kaitlyn Dever had officially joined the cast as Abby, described as a skilled soldier who confronts her worldview while seeking revenge for those she loves. Series writers Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann said the casting process for season two is identical to that of season one, seeking world-class actors to embody the characters' souls, as both expressed their deep gratitude for the inclusion of a performer like Kaitlyn Dever.
