HBO is releasing the theatrical premiere of the second season of The Last of Us

HBO released the first theatrical release of The Last of Us the second season and while it is short, it gives clues about what we can expect when the series starts in 2025. It begins with Joel (Pedro Pascal) in conversation with a new character played by Catherine O’Hara (who appears to be his therapist), counting. for his past actions. “Did you hurt him?” he asks. “I saved him,” he replied.

In addition to O’Hara’s unknown role, we see other actors for the first time including Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby, Jeffrey Wright reprising his video game voice role as Isaac, and Dina, played by Isabela Merced. Meanwhile with the returning cast, Joel’s brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) appear briefly in some intense scenes.

As revealed last year, runners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have decided to split the events in half The The Last of Us Part II The video game ran for two seasons, as the story was more complicated than the original. The second season will be just seven episodes to make up for the natural break, while the third season will be “significantly bigger,” they said.

The original series largely followed the events of the game, with some clever deviations and changes. Expect more of the same for season two, though the teasers already show one key difference. In the play, Joel only admits the events that happened in the hospital to his brother, but here, he tells the character of Catherine O’Hara.
