However, The Last of Us season 2 also features some brand new faces in it. From Kaitlyn Dever's Abby to Isabela Merced's Dina, the show introduces new characters who will not only be integral to the story but also play a key role in shaping Ellie's character arc. The current season is poised to have seven episodes in total.

In The Last of Us: Part II (the game on which the show is based), Ellie is a songwriter who is passionate about music. The show follows suit and features some licensed music as well, which gives insight into her character.
