Attention, The Last of Us fans! Season two is set to be an emotional ride. Back in 2023, the HBO adaptation of the popular video game franchise became an instant hit with TV viewers for its stellar storytelling and stunning performances from Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
Due to its popularity and universal acclaim – boasting a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes – the show was renewed for a second season weeks before its season one finale. “I’m humbled, honoured, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey,” Neil Druckmann, executive producer, said in a celebratory statement.
Since that fateful day, details surrounding the show’s sophomore season have been kept relatively under wraps, aside from the handful of cast announcements and two first-look photos.
Fortunately, on 4 August, fans were treated to a brand new video teaser of The Last of Us season two, previewing Joel and Ellie’s harrowing new journey.
