The Last of Us Part II contained one of the biggest plot twists in video game history. After the player plays as Ellie and witnesses the new villain Abby brutally murder Joel, the heroic father figure from the first game, the game’s perspective switches. After playing as Ellie for the three days it took to track down Abby (and a few flashbacks), the two finally meet, but before anything can be resolved, the player is suddenly playing as Abby, three days previously.
It’s a shocking move that literally puts the player in the villain’s shoes, so it’s no surprise the second season of the series adaptation, the first of multiple seasons that will adapt the second game, ended with a major cliffhanger and a switch to Abby’s story. Here’s everything you need to know about the next season, from when it could premiere to how many more seasons may be left.
