What We Learned From The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer

The second trailer for HBO's "The Last of Us" Season 2 has dropped, and it looks like we're in for another thrilling ride. The new season, set to air in 2025, promises a faithful adaptation of "The Last of Us Part II" with some creative twists. Let's break down the trailer and see what we can expect from Joel, Ellie, and the rest of the gang.

Joel's Therapy Sessions

In the first trailer, we saw Joel attending therapy. Catherine O'Hara plays Joel's therapist, and it seems like their sessions will be quite intense. Joel is not thrilled about therapy, and O'Hara's character appears frustrated with his guarded attitude.

This scene might replace the opening of "The Last of Us Part II," where Joel confesses to his brother Tommy about the Firefly massacre. It raises the question: does doctor-patient confidentiality cover such confessions?

Ellie in Jackson

Next, we see Ellie walking through the snowy streets of Jackson, Wyoming. Joel and Ellie returned to this settlement after the season finale. The town, led by Joel's sister-in-law Maria, offers a decent quality of life despite the post-apocalyptic setting.

We also catch a glimpse of Joel's mailbox with "Miller" on it, adding a touch of normalcy to their lives.

Joel's Gift to Ellie

Joel gifts Ellie an acoustic guitar with a moth design on the fretboard. He promised to teach her how to play, and the trailer features Pearl Jam's "Future Days" over this scene. However, the timeline discrepancy might mean Ellie learns a different song.

Ellie Plays for Dina

Ellie learns to play the guitar well enough to serenade her girlfriend Dina. In the game, she plays an acoustic version of A-ha's "Take On Me," creating a sweet moment between the two.

Flashbacks and New Scenes

The trailer hints at multiple flashbacks, including a scene that resembles a conversation between Joel and Ellie on his back porch. This could be a significant moment, but we'll have to wait and see how it fits into the season.

Jesse in Jackson

We get our first look at Young Mazino as Jesse, helping to build something in Jackson. This scene wasn't in the game, suggesting we'll see more of Jesse in the show.

Ellie's Switchblade

There's a shot of Ellie washing her bloodstained switchblade in a sink. Expect Ellie to do a lot of fighting this season, though whose blood it is remains a mystery.

Tommy on Guard

Gabriel Luna's Tommy is shown looking over Jackson's border wall. An infected mob attacking the town seems imminent, adding to the season's tension.

Stalkers and Infected

We see an infected Stalker creeping behind Ellie in a dilapidated building. The fungus growing from its head confirms its identity, adding to the show's eerie atmosphere.

Introducing Abby

Kaitlyn Dever as Abby is seen kneeling over a makeshift grave, looking teary-eyed. Her role and emotional depth will be crucial as the season unfolds.

The Infected Horde

A Jackson civilian spots a massive crowd of infected heading towards the town. This scene, coupled with Abby's encounter with infected, suggests a larger threat looming over Jackson.

Abby's Rescue

Abby gets pinned down by an infected but is saved by someone with a revolver. This is followed by a shot of people traveling on horseback, possibly Joel and Abby.

The Seraphites

Some scenes appear to be set in Seattle, featuring the Seraphites, a cult from the game. Their distinct look and graffiti hint at their significant role in the season.

Isaac's Torture

Jeffrey Wright returns as Isaac, shown standing over a tortured Seraphite man. This scene might take creative liberties with the game's timeline.

Action-Packed Montage

The trailer wraps up with rapid-fire action sequences: infected attacks, horseback chases, people on fire, and emotional moments. A shot of Tommy and Maria embracing adds a touch of warmth.

Joel and Ellie's Bond

The trailer ends with Joel and Ellie bonding over the guitar, reminding us of the joy in their world despite the chaos. This scene hints at the complex father-daughter dynamic we'll see in 2025 when Season 2 premieres.
