The Last of Us started out as one of the most anticipated series of the year in 2023, but it would far exceed all expectations. Praised in equal parts by the public and critics and by fans and non-fans of the video games of which it is an adaptation, the fiction developed by Craig Mazin and Neill Druckmann (creator of the game) has been an injection of emotions that go much further than being a mere story of survival in a post-apocalyptic world full of contagious creatures.
Throughout its nine episodes, season 1 of The Last of Us has also not stopped surpassing itself, with audience records that even surpassed those of The House of the Dragon, another great phenomenon, just a few months earlier.
The Last of Us said goodbye to its first season in style with a final chapter, ‘Look for the Light’ (1×09), which raised many questions regarding what Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Joel (Peter Pascal) will be experiencing in the second. delivery of the successful series. An episode that did not lack anything and that left us counting the days until season 2. Take note of everything we know about season 2 of The Last of Us below.
Will ‘The Last of Us’ have season 2?
The answer is yes. The series starring Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal was renewed in January 2023 after the success of the broadcast of its first two episodes, so we say goodbye with the guarantee of its return.
“I feel humbled, honored, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our story of Joel and Ellie’s journey,” Neil Druckmann acknowledged upon hearing the news. “I couldn’t be more ready to dive back into them,” added Craig Mazin.
When will The Last of Us season 2 premiere?
After a first season that broke records as the most-watched premiere season of a series in history on HBO, the second season of The Last of Us will premiere in 2025 on Max.
‘The Last of Us’: First images
We will still have to wait to see the trailer, but during the presentation of Warner Bros. Discovery at the 2024–2025 Upfronts, Max director Casey Bloys showed the first images. In one of them, we can see Bella Ramsey again as Ellie, while in the other, we see Pedro Pascal as Joel.
Who is returning and who is not in season 2 of ‘The Lass of Us’?
There is no doubt about one thing: Pedro Pascal will continue to be Joel, and Bella Ramsey will continue to be Ellie in season 2. Although the character played by Ramsey undergoes a significant physical change due to his age between the first and second video games—in the first she is 13 years old and now she will be 19—Ellie’s age in the second video game is the same as that of the actress, and the team was always very clear that they would not change the interpreter: “It will be the series that Neil and I want to do, and “We’re going to do it with Bella. The only reason we would consider changing Bella is if she said, ‘I don’t want to work with you guys anymore.'”
That said, regarding the return of the rest of the cast that we have met to date, the truth is that the answer is that anyone would be possible, from the characters who are still alive when we say goodbye to season 1 to those to whom we said goodbye but could bring back some kind of ‘flashback’.
Likewise, we hope to know sooner rather than later the names of the new cast members who will accompany the protagonists in season 2.
Will there be a time jump in season 2 of ‘The Last of Us’?
There will be. As its creators already explained, the series will not deviate from what has already been told in video games, and this has been demonstrated by the first season that was adapted just like the first game. And the second begins with a 19-year-old Ellie in the town of Joel’s brother, Tommy (Gabriel Luna). So we will see an older Joel and a much more adult Ellie.
What will be happening with Ellie and Joel in season 2 of ‘The Last of Us’?
After that jump in time, we will see how that paternal relationship between Joel and Ellie has evolved and how it has grown in a community without dangers, without PHAEDRA, and without anyone knowing that it is immune to the cordyceps fungus. Except Joel’s brother. Clear
The second video game is epic in every way, both in action and story. Therefore, without going beyond the spoilers that can be made, the second season promises to be something that will not stop being talked about, just as the first installment has done.
