The second season of The Last of Us is just a month away, and HBO has finally given us a taste of things to come. The first full trailer takes us to the post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by monsters and sees Joel and Ellie trying to carry on with their mission as the world collapses around them.
The Last of Us draws inspiration from the hit video game of the same name and follows the hardened survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) and a defiant teenage girl Ellie (Bella Ramsey), as they travel across the post-apocalyptic United States after he’s been tasked to smuggle her out of a quarantine zone.
In addition to reuniting us with Joel and Ellie, the new trailer introduces us to many newcomers to this universe. Season 2 will also star Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Rutina Wesley as Maria, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Jeffrey Wright as Isaac, and Catherine O’Hara as Gail, plus Gabriel Luna returning as Tommy.
The Last of Us will return for its second season on HBO on April 13. It will feature seven episodes, airing weekly until May 25.
