The Last of Us proved to be one of the best-made and most visually stunning shows when it premiered its first season in 2023. The show, led by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay, also received immense critical acclaim, and a second season was announced quite quickly. Now, we also have a look at the second season after the HBO production dropped its first trailer earlier today.
The Last of Us season 2 will adapt the second game in the franchise, something that may not be familiar to all the fans of the show. But for those who know the story and the setting of the second video game, this trailer seems to have made a great impact on them.
Soon after the trailer's release, fans not only expressed their immense excitement for the second installment, but it also kickstarted a discussion among gamers, who were more than impressed by the accuracy of the adaptation, something most videogame adaptations have failed to do in the past years.
X user @honestkteng summed this emotion up, commenting:
"If you've played the 2nd game, this will hit you so hard in the feels!!!"
Other users also responded to the teaser, praising the accuracy of the adaptation, among other things.
"You can hear the piercing audio that's also from THAT scene in the game. I'm not ready but also ready lol❤️-" another user added, keeping the particular event cryptic for those who do not know what would happen at that certain point.
"Oh my god, they ARE following the game!"- another user noted.
"BROOOOOO THE SPOT ON SCENES"- another user expressed their disbelief at the perfect adaptation.
"The general public is about to learn why the Last of Us Part II is better than Part I in every single way."- another fan added, praising the original videogame as well.
The Last of Us season 2 is set to premiere in 2025.
The Last of Us season 2 trailer gives a picture-accurate representation of the great videogame moments
One of the reasons the first season of the show was such a big hit was its adherence to the original material and characters. The second one seems to be on the same path, only this time, it's adapting a different videogame- The Last of Us: Part II, which was released in 2020.
The trailer asl depicts some iconic scenes from the videogame, which have also rightfully excited fans around the globe. The events of season 2 will take place five years after the events of the tense finale of season 1.
The official synopsis for the upcoming season reads:
"After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie's collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind."
The trailer also introduces some new cast members like Catherine O'Hara, Isabela Merced, and Kaitlyn Dever.
