In early 2023, a post-apocalyptic series based on the popular game Last of Us, became an instant hit on HBO. The show, presenting the zombie apocalypse, garnered 4.7 million US viewers. After a decade, this series has become the second-most-watched series premiere on HBO in over a decade. The executive producers, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, of the series have officially confirmed season 2 of the show. According to star Bella Ramsey, the next season’s scenes will be darker than the first. The show earned critical acclaim from fans and reviewers for its first season.
The game will be further adapted for numerous television seasons. The co-creators have confirmed that the story will span multiple seasons. However, the next installment is set to be filmed in Vancouver, Canada. Fans can expect the second installment of the video game to be based on the storyline of season 2. It was hinted that filming for next season could begin in 2023.
The show will explore themes of revenge and the dangers of unconditional love. The ongoing Writers Guild of America strike led to a halt on season 2 auditions. The outcome of Joel’s decision in the season 1 finale will be explored ahead. This time it will feature a darker and more focused approach with less emphasis on action.
The roles of Joel and Ellie are expected to be reprised by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay in Season 2. The storyline of the video game will not be followed faithfully in Season 2. The show’s creators are not constrained by the source material, as Joel’s death is a big possibility this season. The release date remains unconfirmed, as The Last of Us Season 2 will enter its early production phase.
HBO’s head of drama mentioned that the show could possibly return in 2025. The fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Joel and Ellie. More details about next season will be announced in the future. The vision of the world before and after the apocalypse in the show has been praised by viewers.
