‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 Trailer Teases Bitter Rift Between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s Joel and Ellie — Plus Romance, Explosions and More Monsters
variety.comSelome Hailu HBO debuted the trailer for Season 2 of “The Last of Us” at SXSW on Saturday at a panel featuring the cast and series creators.
The trailer is as full of monsters and violence as Season 1 was — with a lot more fire. It opens with Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, sneaking through an abandoned building, seemingly in fear of a nearby attacker as broken glass litters the floor and a dog wanders in the background, before showing a shot of a man’s arm wearing a watch and a shot of what looks like a gravesite full of thin wooden crosses, each draped with a medallion.
Pedro Pascal’s character, Joel, is first seen with Ellie as the two trek through a forest. “You OK?” Joel asks. “Yeah,” Ellie replies after a pause, but it’s clear that she has more on her mind.
Cast members Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced and Young Mazino appeared on the SXSW panel alongside series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. “The Last of Us” is based on Naughty Dog’s PlayStation video games of the same name, which were written and creative directed by Druckmann.
