Exciting news for fans of HBO's hit video game adaptation, The Last of Us, as filming for the second season is well underway. The series, based on Naughty Dog's popular game franchise, is set to delve deeper into the storyline of the games.
The first season of The Last of Us focused on events from the initial game, while the upcoming second season is expected to cover the early part of the second game. If a third season is greenlit, it will likely explore the latter part of the second game.
The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world, 20 years after the collapse of society, following the journey of Joel and Ellie across America. The second game, The Last of Us: Part II, released in 2020, continues the narrative five years later, intertwining the lives of new characters.
Fans were treated to a sneak peek of the second season's production with photos and videos shared online, showcasing returning stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey reprising their roles as Joel and Ellie. Additional cast members include Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, and Gabriel Luna.
Filming is currently taking place in Vancouver, Canada, with reports suggesting that production will wrap up in the next two months. The second season is expected to be shorter than the first, with a focus on standalone episodes.
While the release date for the new season has not been confirmed, fans may have to wait until 2025 to see the continuation of The Last of Us on their screens. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated series!
