HBO
We had a brief 20-second clip the other month, now HBO has released an official two-minute teaser trailer for the second season of its TV series adaptation of “The Last of Us” based on the highly acclaimed Naughty Dog game series.

The new seven-episode season filmed between January and August in Canada and adapts part of the story narrative of “The Last of Us Part II”. The trailer makes use of Pearl Jam’s “Future Days” which fans of the game will be very familiar with.

The trailer confirms there’ll be some structural change-up from the game to a somewhat more linear narrative with one key scene from the ending moved up and appearing in this season.

It also gives us a good look at Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby and Jeffrey Wright’s Isaac along with more insight into Catherine O’Hara’s new character.

Game creator and series producer Neil Druckmann tells Variety that the new run will include a key scene that “really kind of tells you a lot of backstory of this important character that there wasn’t really a way for us to even do that in the game.”

Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal, Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, Kaitlyn Dever, Young Manzino, Isabela Merced, Jeffrey Isaac, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Danny Ramirez and Catherine O’Hara co-star in the new run which premieres in 2025.
