Finally, the trailer for the long-awaited second season of The Last of Us is out ahead of its premiere which is set to happen in 2025. The show is based on a survival game set in the post-apocalyptic US, and HBO is the adapted the game into a show, with the first season premiering in early 2023.
It's set twenty years after a pandemic that infected people and turned the infected into zombies. The first season followed Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with taking Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across the country in hopes of using her to create a vaccine against an infectious virus.
The new season takes place five years after the first season, and in the trailer, we see a seemingly peaceful community where the two find refuge. With the sound of the song “Future Days” by Pearl Jam, the infected suddenly attacked the community, forcing them to flee again.
“After five years of peace since the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie's past returns, and it brings them into conflict with each other and into a world more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind ,” HBO said.
The cast includes Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, and Jeffrey Wright. There will also be guest star Catherine O'Hara.
Watch the official trailer for season two of The Last of Us above. The show will premiere in 2025.
