The duration of Episode 2 and subsequent episodes of The Last of Us has been announced by HBO. HBO’s adaptation of the PlayStation video game premiered on January 15 with a two-part episode that ran for a total of 85 minutes.
The premiere introduced viewers to Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), two survivors in a world devastated by a fungal outbreak. Episode 2, named “Infected,” airs this Sunday and is little under an hour in length; however, on January 29th, viewers can look forward to another extra-long episode with a super-sized runtime.
When Does Last Of Us Episode 2?
The second episode of The Last of Us, titled “Infected,” will air for the first time on Sunday, January 22 at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT on HBO and HBO Max. Director Neil Druckmann, who also co-created the HBO series with showrunner Craig Mazin, will make his live-action directing debut with this episode.
When compared to other HBO series premieres, The Last of Us had the second-highest viewership ever. There is still a lot to find out about the universe and the show’s characters, such as how the deadly disease got out and why Ellie is so special, even after the revelatory events of the video game turned live-action TV series introduction.
Zombie-like humanoids lurk in the shadows of the abandoned metropolis ahead of Joel, Tess, and Ellie, revealing to viewers exactly how real the perils are that await the characters in the real world.

The Zombie Kiss In The Last Of Us Episode 2
There will be spoilers for both the second episode of “The Last of Us” and the video game itself. To learn more about episode 2, click here to read our summary. It was to be expected that a show involving fungal infections and zombies would have gore at some time. To this day, I can’t say that I was prepared for it.
Tess, Joel’s accomplice, is infected near the end of the second episode of “The Last of Us.” Worse yet, a swarm of zombies is on its way to attack the group of three. Tess stays behind while the series’ protagonists, Joel and Ellie, flee; she uses the gasoline barrels and explosives that were left behind by a band of smugglers and freedom fighters to slow down the zombies.

But before she can set off her trap, she is kissed on the mouth by a zombie who looks human but actually has tentacles protruding from his mouth like a jellyfish. Tess is not killed by operatives of FEDRA, the dictatorial pseudo-government set up in the wake of the zombie apocalypse, as in the game, but rather by survivors. In an interview with my old coworker Elise Favis for The Washington Post, showrunner Craig Mazin explained the shift as follows.
Episode 2 Confirms Major Fan Theory About Infection Origin
One of the most popular fan theories about The Last of Us is proven correct in its second episode. The Last of Us on HBO is an excellent adaptation of a great video game. It’s faithful to the original work, but it also significantly expands upon it, providing both new and veteran readers with enough fresh material to enjoy.

The game isn’t really explicit on how the sickness spread, however, there are hints and brief mentions of the topic here and there. One reason for this is that there is no scientist who provides a lot of explanation because the player never leaves the perspective of the primary protagonists.
A show can do whatever it wants because of its autonomy. Following the initial airing of The Last of Us, many quickly speculated that flour was used to spread the virus. Although many of the characters partake of flour-containing meals, Joel and Sarah do not, Joel follows an Atkins-style diet, and so on. As a viewer, you might miss it, but on reflection, you’ll notice that it was done on purpose.
Flashbacks to Jakarta, Indonesia, in the days leading up to the 2003 pandemic begin the second episode. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that workers at a flour plant were sick and had begun biting each other, suggesting that the flour produced at this plant was likely the source of the global outbreak. Joel and Sarah escaped the actual virus thanks to a string of fortunate breaks, but countless others succumbed.
