As a seasoned gamer with countless hours invested in both The Last of Us and its sequel, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation as HBO unveils the teaser trailer for season 2. Having traversed through the post-apocalyptic world of Ellie and Abby, I’ve witnessed their struggles, their triumphs, and their heart-wrenching encounters firsthand.
Following the announcement that the TV series “The Last of Us” was renewed for a second season on HBO, gamers started pondering how they would translate the complexity of “The Last of Us Part II” into live-action. The first season effectively adapted the entirety of the original game within its nine episodes, but the 2020 sequel presents a more expansive storyline due to its non-linear narrative and multiple perspectives. In honor of the annual “Outbreak Day,” HBO unveiled the initial full trailer for “The Last of Us” season 2, potentially providing an answer to this significant question. Note that spoilers for the video game “The Last of Us Part II” will be discussed ahead.
At the heart of “The Last of Us Part II” game lies a tale split between two journeys, one as Ellie pursues revenge and another introducing Abby amidst a separate conflict in Seattle. Initially, the first hour of the game alternates between these characters, but the majority of the game is experienced through Ellie’s perspective. An essential juncture around halfway through the game shifts focus to Abby, placing players in the role of the individual who has been the target of Ellie’s vengeful pursuit. To intensify the emotional turmoil, a crucial battle as Abby requires confronting and attacking Ellie directly. This leaves fans pondering, how will The Last of Us season 2 manage its dual narrative and decide where to conclude the story?
Now that we’ve got a good understanding of the game, let’s examine what clues we can gather from the season 2 trailer. From the footage shown, we can infer at least two points:
From two significant scenes in the trailer, it’s reasonable to infer that Season 2 of “The Last of Us” could delve into Kaitlyn Dever’s character, Abby’s backstory, as suggested by a grave scene with a pendant (a hint for viewers to anticipate this exploration). Furthermore, the trailer also features Jeffrey Wright’s character, Isaac, in a crucial moment. Given that players of “The Last of Us Part II” don’t encounter Isaac until much later and only after switching to Abby’s perspective, his appearance and location in this trailer suggest a substantial part of Abby’s story will be revealed. It appears that this narrative might coincide with Ellie’s storyline as well.
Another significant hint from the trailer about where The Last of Us season 2 might delve into the storyline of The Last of Us Part II is that there’s a lot of footage showing Ellie and Dina’s activities during “Seattle Day 1.” This isn’t just limited to them in the record store, but also involves them sprinting through Seattle’s decaying subway system. In The Last of Us Part II game, this sequence aligns with the end of the Seattle Day 1 section on Ellie’s side, suggesting that this could be where season 2 concludes. It provides a clear ending point and may also pave the way for intriguing flashbacks in potential season 3.
One intriguing aspect suggesting where The Last of Us season 2 might end up in terms of events from The Last of Us Part II is the conspicuous absence of two characters, Lev and Yara, in the trailer. Not only are they missing, but HBO hasn’t hinted at their casting in any way, which could imply that these characters won’t be part of The Last of Us season 2. Interestingly, a mysterious Seraphite member is shown in the trailer, walking through the woods. It’s possible that the series might be preparing for Lev and Yara’s introduction in a potential season 3 of The Last of Us, while using season 2 to delve deeper into the cult and its members for viewers.
Fans eagerly awaiting the appearance of characters Lev and Yara in “The Last of Us” season 2 should be prepared for a long wait, as the second season isn’t expected until 2025. Given the rich narrative of the video game, it’s possible that the TV series might need to conclude some storylines ahead of time even if there’s more story left untold. For “The Last of Us” season 2, it appears the creators have given a clear indication of where they will wrap up certain plotlines.
