HBO's The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Gives Us Our First Look At Abby

As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours traversing post-apocalyptic landscapes and forming emotional bonds with characters in The Last of Us series, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming second season of HBO’s adaptation!


Today, I’m celebrating “The Last of Us Day” – a special occasion marking when the game’s storyline saw the outbreak go critical on September 26. And what could be more fitting than HBO dropping its first full trailer for Season 2 of the smash-hit adaptation, featuring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey!

Five serene years have passed since the tumultuous events of the first season, but my adoration for Joel and Ellie has not waned. The shadows of their shared past are now looming large, thrusting them into a fresh battle against each other and a world that’s become even more treacherous and unstable than the one they once knew.

As a devoted fan, I was granted a swift peek at the upcoming show through its tantalizing teaser trailer, featuring Catherine O’Hara embodying Dina, a character I can hardly wait to see more of. The enigmatic group known as the Scars, or Seraphites among themselves, also made an appearance, adding to the intrigue. This preview offers us our initial glimpse at Kaitlyn Dever transforming into Abby Anderson, who seems to be Ellie’s primary adversary in the series.

In the preview, numerous instances from the game are shown, including Ellie learning to play her guitar with Joel’s guidance, as well as Ellie performing for Dina. Scenes of Jesse (Young Mazino) and life in Jackson, which the survivors have built over a five-year span, are also included. Furthermore, there are scenes depicting several intense moments from the game, such as navigating through the subway and evading an infected attack.

The initial season of this series gained immense popularity, making it the first live-action video game adaptation to be recognized for significant award nominations. It was nominated for 24 Primetime Emmy Awards, with the Creative Arts Emmy Awards recognizing eight of these nominations. Notably, actors Nick Offerman and Storm Reid were honored in the category of Guest Actors in a Drama Series.

Initially, the storyline of the first game was sufficient for an entire Season 1, with minor and significant adjustments made throughout to make it last longer. On the other hand, The Last of Us Part 2 is twice as long as the original game and incorporates numerous side stories and time shifts between different periods. With such a wealth of content, showrunner Craig Mazin believes that solely from the sequel, there could be up to three more seasons worth of television shows.

Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us arrives in 2025.
