The Last Of Us season two teased in HBO promo The Last of Us season two has been teased in a new trailer for HBO ’s upcoming shows and seems to be taking a huge departure from the original games. Based on the hit PlayStation franchise, the first season followed survivors Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) who navigate a post-apocalyptic world overrun by fungal zombies. At the end of the nine-episode first outing, Joel makes the impossible choice to save Ellie from certain death, despite her immunity from the virus making her humanity’s last hope.

Season two will be based on the second entry to the video game franchise, which was released to consoles in 2020. Pedro and Bella reprise their roles alongside newcomer Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon and Isabela Merced as Ellie’s love interest Dina.
