Expectations are running high for the second season of The Last of Us, and HBO just added some more fuel to the fire ahead of its release in April. The first full trailer for the hit show’s second season is here, and it reunites us with Joel and Ellie, while also introducing us to some new characters.
The first full trailer was unveiled at the SXSW, and the cast and crew of The Last of Us dropped some hints about the show’s next chapter while attending the festival. Co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann promised that the best is yet to come because there’s a lot of crazy stuff we haven’t seen in the trailer.
“It’s crazier – it’s a wild roller coaster ride. That world is louder, and it is more dangerous, and we have dug in. And, honestly, I think, if we don’t get canceled, next season will be even bigger,” said Mazin at SXSW.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will return as Joel and Ellie in Season 2, and there’s going to be a lot of tension and distance between them in the show’s next chapter. They’ll be joined by Gabriel Luna, Kaitlyn Dever, Rutina Wesley, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord Owen, Danny Ramirez, Jeffrey Wright, and Catherine O’Hara.
The second season of The Last of Us will premiere on HBO on April 13, and it will feature seven episodes.
