The highly anticipated second season of the popular HBO series, The Last of Us, is set to make a return to television screens in April. Fans are excited as a new trailer has been unveiled, offering a sneak peek into what lies ahead.
In the teaser for season two of The Last of Us, viewers catch a glimpse of Ellie’s blossoming relationship with Dina (played by Isabela Merced) and encounter two new groups of human adversaries. The trailer also showcases a flamethrower and briefly introduces a newcomer named Abby (portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever).
The central storyline of the upcoming season revolves around Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) discovering the truth about Joel’s (portrayed by Pedro Pascal) actions at the end of the previous season in the hospital, actions he had concealed from her. The scenes depict Ellie’s anger while Joel’s silent demeanor hints at the remorse he carries.
Unlike the nine episodes in the first season, the upcoming season of The Last of Us comprises only seven episodes. Showrunner Craig Mazin elaborated on the decision, explaining that the abundance of story material from the game’s Part 2 necessitated a strategic approach to storytelling across multiple seasons, with the current season naturally concluding after seven episodes.
While a third season of The Last of Us has not been officially confirmed, the show’s structure and comments from showrunner Craig suggest it is a strong possibility. The synopsis for the second part hints at a gripping narrative where Ellie and Joel face new challenges and emotional turmoil in their quest for justice.
The Last of Us season 2 is scheduled to premiere in the UK on April 14 on Sky Atlantic or NOW TV, offering fans an exciting continuation of the beloved series.
