The Last of Us Season 2: Everything We Know So Far
The Last of Us, one of the most acclaimed video games ever, has been adapted into a TV series by HBO. The first season was a huge success, and fans eagerly await season 2. Here's everything we know about The Last of Us season 2.
Release Date
HBO has yet to announce a release date for the second season of The Last of Us. As of March 2023, the show has yet to start filming season 2. The Last of Us season 2 will likely not premiere until late 2024 or even 2025.
Cast
The prominent cast members from season 1 are expected to return for season 2, including Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Anna Torv as Tess, Nico Parker as Riley, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Jeffrey Pierce as David, Murray Bartlett as Bill, Con O'Neill as Robert, and Frances O'Connor as Anna.
Some new characters from the video game sequel The Last of Us Part II will also appear in season 2, but they have yet to be confirmed by HBO or the showrunners.
Plot
The plot details for The Last of Us season 2 are still under wraps. However, based on how season 1 ended and how closely it followed the events of the first game, we can make some educated guesses about what might happen in season 2.
Season 1 ended with Joel lying to Ellie about what happened at the Firefly hospital, where they were supposed to deliver her for a potential cure. Season 2 might pick up shortly after this lie or skip ahead a few years later, like in The Last of Us Part II game. Either way, we can expect some tension between Joel and Ellie over this secret and how it affects their relationship.
Season 2 might also explore more locations across America, such as Jackson County, Wyoming, where Tommy lives with his wife Maria, Seattle, Washington, where Abby lives with her friends from the WLF, Santa Barbara, California, where Abby searches for clues about other Firefly cells, Salt Lake City Utah where Ellie returns to confront her past or even other countries such as Canada or Mexico where new factions might exist.
Season 2 might also introduce new threats, such as human cults like the Seraphites who worship nature, infected animals like dogs, rats, or elephants, or even mutated forms of infection like bloaters, stalkers, or shamblers.
Season 2 might also delve deeper into the characters' backgrounds, motivations, emotions, traumas, hopes, fears, dreams, nightmares, regrets, joys, sorrows, loves, hates, friendships, rivalries, loyalties, betrayals, sacrifices, choices, consequences, redemption, forgiveness, revenge, survival, humanity, morality, ethics, philosophy, religion, politics, culture, history, science, art, music, literature, poetry, humor, tragedy, horror, action, adventure, drama, and more.
Fans are also speculating that season 2 might introduce new characters from the video game sequel, such as Dina, Jesse, Abby, Lev, Yara, Owen, Mel, Manny, Nora, Isaac, Jordan, Nick, Alice, Whitney, Seth, Maria, Jerry Anderson, and Eugene Linden. However, it remains to be seen whether these characters will appear in the show.
The Last of Us season 2 is expected to continue exploring the themes of survival, loss, and love that made the first season so compelling. The showrunners will likely continue to balance the action-packed scenes with quieter character development and exploration moments.
Overall, The Last of Us season 2 has a lot of potentials to continue the first season's success and deliver an engaging and emotional story for fans of the video game and the TV series. While we'll have to wait a bit longer for more information on the plot and release date, the anticipation for season 2 continues to build.
