‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 Trailer: Joel and Ellie Fight Off Clicker Hordes After Five-Year Time Jump
variety.comJordan Moreau Joel and Ellie are back. HBO released the first trailer for “The Last of Us” Season 2, featuring the return of Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, the two zombie apocalypse survivors from the hit video game adaptation.
The eight-time Emmy-winning series (with 24 total nominations) chronicles the story of Joel and Ellie as they navigate a world overrun with zombies infected with a parasitic fungus — not to mention the ruthless vigilantes, mercenaries and cannibals just as desperate to survive.
Here’s the official logline for Season 2: “After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.” Just as the first season of “The Last of Us” was adapted from the acclaimed 2013 video game of the same title, Season 2 is expected to follow the events of its 2020 sequel, “The Last of Us Part II,” which deals with the fallout from Joel’s actions in the Season 1 finale.
Since the initial Season 2 announcement, many actors have already been confirmed to join the cast for the series’ second outing.
