The Last of Us Season 2 Has One Scene Fans "Will Eat Up"

As a die-hard fan of The Last of Us, I can confidently say that Neil Druckmann knows his stuff. Having been there since the game’s inception, he has a unique perspective on the intricacies and nuances that make this post-apocalyptic world so captivating.


Neil Druckmann, who is responsible for creating the “The Last of Us” video game series and co-creating the popular HBO adaptation, hints that fans will be thrilled with a particular scene in Season 2. While adapting video games into TV shows or movies can be challenging, Druckmann’s work with HBO on “The Last of Us” has proven to be an immediate success. Though fans may have some expectations for Season 2, Druckmann suggests that the series might still surprise us with its innovative twists.

Neil Druckmann recently appeared on the Variety Strictly Business podcast, during which he discussed his joy from interacting with fans of The Last of Us video game and television series. He also shared some anticipation for Season 2, with a specific scene particularly catching his attention.

Druckmann shared that he appreciates when viewers watch the show and then play the game, discussing how they find it a unique experience. The game occasionally alludes to aspects not explored in the series, allowing for deeper understanding. When combined, both forms of media become more immersive. He enjoys hearing these experiences from fans, who often share insights like “I watched the show and played the game, and I was fascinated by how different the Bill sequence was, giving me a fresh perspective on him.” This season contains elements he’s especially eager to reveal – hints that were made earlier – such as one specific scene that stands out, which he believes will captivate fans of the game due to its detailed backstory of an essential character that couldn’t be fully developed in the game.

Druckmann talked about collaborating with Craig Mazin, the head writer and executive producer of The Last of Us, in breaking down each season. Impressed by Mazin’s work on HBO’s Chernobyl, Druckmann reached out to him for a meeting, which eventually led to an appreciation for The Last of Us from both parties.

In our perspective, we kick off at the start of the season, divide it up, and analyze each game. Our aim is to craft the most compelling narrative. We then examine the content within the game and identify elements that we’re passionate about and believe can remain unchanged. These elements become our foundation.

In the seven-episode second season of “The Last of Us,” Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey reprise their roles as Joel and Ellie. Joining them are newcomers such as Kaitlyn Dever, known for “No One Will Save You,” playing Abby who seeks revenge; Merced from “Madame Web” portraying Dina; Young Mazino of “Beef” as Jesse; Danny Ramirez, previously seen in “Captain America: Brave New World,” as Manny; Ariela Barer from “Runaways” as Mel; Tati Gabrielle, who has been in “Uncharted,” as Nora; Wright, recognized for “The Batman,” playing Isaac Dixon; and Catherine O’Hara, a two-time Emmy winner, taking on an original character whose identity is yet to be disclosed.
