The Last of Us Season 2 Teaser Trailer Breakdown: A Rollercoaster Ride

The first trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 has been released. The HBO series grabbed the world by storm when it premiered in early 2023. It is based on the video game of the same name, published by Naughty Dog, and stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

The computer game has a 2020 sequel, The Last of Us: Part II, which the TV series will attempt to adapt in later episodes. New cast members for The Last of Us season 2 include Kaitlyn Dever, Young Mazino, Isabela Merced, and Jeffrey Wright.

Max has released the first teaser trailer for The Last of Us season 2. The trailer opens with Joel speaking to Catherine O’Hara’s character, who appears to be a therapist.

The scene then cuts to reveal Ellie in Jackson, Wyoming, where Joel’s brother and his wife had taken refuge to be safe from the infected. Joel and Ellie live peacefully as she plays guitar and meets the new character, Dina. Things in Jackson soon devolve as what was once a safe city is now being attacked by the infected.

1. What Does The Trailer Say About The Last of Us Season 2?

The treatment device is an intriguing way to begin season 2, as it instantly shows Joel tackling one of the most important issues heading into the new season.

This refers to the consequences of The Last of Us season 1’s ending, in which Joel lies to Ellie about what truly transpired with the Fireflies. The season 2 teaser begins with this therapist figure asking Joel about what he truly had done, laying the stage for the events of season 2.

The season 2 trailer ends by mentioning that the sophomore season is slated for 2025, though it does not specify a release date. However, updates from the creative team and HBO have teased that the show would premiere before the Emmy eligibility deadline.

If it follows the same release pattern, The Last of Us season 2 could be arriving as early as January, which means that the premiere of the season could be less than four months away.

2. Our Take On The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Explained

The element that excites me most about the season 2 trailer is the presence of music. The trailer is set to the tune of Pearl Jam’s “Future Days” but features many shots of Joel and Ellie playing guitar.

Music was pivotal in the acclaimed The Last of Us episode “A Long, Long Time,” so its prevalence could be a great decision. The new footage for The Last of Us season 2 also previews new characters like Dina and Abby, which leaves plenty of mystery going into the second season.
