‘The Last of Us’ season 2 episode count confirmed — and there’s good and bad news

Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller in The Last of Us season 2.

The wait for “The Last of Us” season 2 is starting to feel tortuous. Until now fans have had to console themselves with casting news and leaked images from the show’s sets, but we now have some firm details on how the season will be structured from its creative team.
