The Last of Us Part series can boast of being one of the best adaptations of a video game to the small screen. As a player of the franchise I can tell you that the work that has been done with this series is fantastic and it seems that those responsible for the second season They were able to focus the content not to disappoint the fans.

The first trailer that Max shared via social media looks very good and clearly shows that the second season of The Last of Us Part he will remain faithful to what we saw in the games, albeit with nuances.

Before I get down to business, I will necessary spoiler below, so if you haven’t seen the first season yet, you shouldn’t continue reading.

In the first season we see the complete content of the first game, that is, a uniform content relationship is generally maintained and the ending is practically the same, Joel saves Ellie from surgery which gave humanity hope of finding a cure for the fungus, but which meant the death of a little girl.

Joel lost his daughter at the start of the Cordyceps Pandemic and was left with a void filled by Ellie, whom he loves as if she were his own daughter. He is not willing to go through such a painful loss again.even if it means having a chance to save the world.

The second season of The Last of Us Part will extend beyond the game

At least that’s what the first trailer Max shared suggests. The series continues after what happened in the first season, although it requires a time jump that takes us directly to Jackson. In the video, which lasts just over 20 seconds, we can see some scenes that They are not a direct replica of The Last of Us Part II.

One of the most important shows us Joel who is he suffers for the decision he made to save Ellie, who he also had to lie to at the time. Tommy also appears defend Jackson from invasion and Isaac solves problems in his own way. I get the impression that the series will take the opportunity to delve a little deeper into some of the characters, and that can be a very positive thing.

It also shows the trailer other scenes and characters already known for all of us who had the opportunity to play The Last of Us Part II Part II, such as the opening sequence of the dance in Jackson, Ellie’s nemesis, Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, already one of the most important factions in the game, the Seraphites.

Max confirmed that the second season will premiere in 2025, though it hasn’t yet specified whether it will do so at the beginning, middle, or end of said year, so stay tuned. If you need a story refresher, now is a good time to watch the first series again.

I saved her.
