The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer: Pedro Pascal And Bella Ramsey Are Back In Post-Apocalyptic HBO Show

If you're a fan of The Last Of Us, then you'll likely know that today is a significant day in the post-apocalyptic world Neil Druckmann built. It is, of course, Outbreak Day — the day when the Cordyceps virus reached critical mass, turning America into a wasteland seemingly overnight. And to mark the occasion, HBO have today given fans their first proper teaser of what's to come in The Last Of Us Season 2, the network giant's Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey starring adaptation of the wildly successful Naughty Dog games. It's ominous, it's eerie, and — of course — it's bringing all the feels. And you can watch it right here:

Eddie Vedder singing 'Future Days', Joel and Ellie smiling and playing guitar, Joel and Ellie crying (and playing guitar), infected hordes descending upon a ski lodge that will look very familiar to anyone who's played The Last Of Us Part II... is it dusty in here? We think our hay fever must be playing up or something. But seriously, this vibe heavy teaser barely gives anything away — we get fresh glimpses of Kaitlyn Dever's Abby, Isabela Merced's Dina, Jeffrey Wright's Isaac, and other cast newcomers including Young Mazino and Catherine O'Hara, as well as the odd Seraphite or two — but we're already locked in and ready to have our hearts destroyed and minds blown all over again.

Here's the official synopsis 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.”

After the dramatic climax to Season 1, and with future seasons already being talked about, it remains to be seen just how deep Season 2 is about to dive into the story told in The Last Of Us Part II. But with this cast on board, and such a profound story of the price of love — and hate — being told here, we're in it for the long haul, Clickers, cordyceps, tears, and all. Roll on 2025!
