The Last of Us Season 2:
What is So Many Shows excited about?
Recently, Pete and Mike discussed the upcoming season of The Last of Us. We talked about the trailer and our predictions for season 2. Check out the trailer below; this upcoming season looks to be, if not as good, better than season 1.
Background:
Those who haven’t seen, heard, played the video game, or watched the first season. The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic drama series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckman for HBO. It is based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog.
Season 1:
It’s been more than two years since The Last of Us season 1 premiered on HBO, and the first season racked up 24 Emmy Award nominations and ended with 8 wins. The show swept the drama guest acting categories for guest stars Nick Offerman and Storm Reid.
Season 2:
Season 2 premiers on April 13th.
The opening episode starts five years after the events of season 1. However, following the events of the season 1 finale, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them. The world is even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
Fans of the blockbuster game on which The Last of Us was created are well aware that more tragic events unfortunately await the show’s lead characters.
The Last of Us will introduce several new characters in season 2, including Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, a key figure in Joel and Ellie’s lives.
In addition to Dever, season 2 will feature Jeffrey Wright, reprising his voice role of Isaac in The Last of Us Part II game. Guest stars set to appear in Season 2 include Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos), Alanna Ubach (Euphoria), Ben Ahlers (The Gilded Age), Hettienne Park (Hannibal), Robert John Burke (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), and Noah Lamanna (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds).
