The highly anticipated The Last of Us Season 2 will return some time next year and given that we now have a teaser trailer it’s probably going to air in the first half of the year rather than later on.
Check out the trailer!So then there’s a lot to unpack in that trailer. We get some almost like-for-like shots from the second game but also a lot of new scenes.We start with what may be the biggest change, Joel talking to a therapist.
Joel even going anywhere near a therapist seems a bit out of character, he has very much been a lone wolf who deals with trauma his own way, but I am guessing this is going to be framing narrative for Season 2.
By having him explain his previous actions, perhaps in flashbacks, he can remain in the series rather longer than he does in the game.We then get a bunch of shots lifted almost directly from the game before we start to see the population of Jackson looking in panic and then what appears to be an infected crawling out of a crate and heading towards someone.
A shot of Abi is followed by what is clearly going to be a huge action piece, the infected are going to attack Jackson!A quick montage of many shots follows, some from the game, and then we get to see a fight with infected on a subway carriage, a key scene from the game in which Ellie reveals to Dina she is immune to the infection.
