The Last of Us, on HBO Max: what will be seen in the second season

There is no doubt that The Last of Us series is a hit on HBO and HBO Max. Each episode surpasses itself in viewers and that is why the network has confirmed that there will be a second season.

What do we know about this? Nothing very precise, but some things can be predicted. We see.

Taking into account that the protagonist series Peter Pascal AND Bella Ramsey is the adaptation of the first video game of the same name from 2013, it is believed that the second season follow the events of The Last of Us: Part 2released in mid-2020 and so far the last of the franchise.

If we consider that the second game is much longer and more complex than the first -and this is already in the words of Craig Mazin, the showrunner of the series-, the second season could be divided into two or even three parts and there could even be a third season that follows the vicissitudes of its history.

This will make manufacturing much more expensive and complicated, and hence, the premiere won’t be overnight. Esquire was encouraged to predict that the new episodes could arrive in 2026, when a hypothetical third game is also underway.

And what would the plot be? If you want to know what could happen in the story of season 2, we will remind you there will be spoilers from here…

Warning, spoilers

Seven years have passed between one game and another, but five years in history. In Part 2, Ellie is 19 and looks very different from the first installment, so we’ll have to see what HBO does to portray her: whether he “ages” Ramsey or directly gets another actress.

The Last of Us: Part 2 has a bunch of new major characters, which means there must be a big casting.

will have to appear Abbya very relevant character to the plot who would be on the same level as Joel and Ellie, and also Dyneanother name that alters the protagonist’s present.

Without going into too much detail, and based on the sales synopsis of the second game, we can say that the new season will start with Ellie and Joel settling down in Jackson, Wyoming, living with a group of survivors.

The story will take a turn when, at a certain point, a violent episode will alter the lives of the characters and lead Ellie towards a new and dangerous adventure.

The Series

The series The Last of Us will premiere its fourth episode this Sunday at 11pm in Argentina.

Taking into account what happened in the third, we recall that, now that he has a vehicle, Joel’s goal is to find his missing brother so that he, with the help of fireflies, delivers Ellie to the corresponding laboratory so that they can experiment with his condition…

The events of the series are set in 2023, twenty years after a zombie pandemic has been unleashed by a fungus that “possesses” people.

In turn, while the “infected” are at large, American society is dominated by PHAEDRA, a fascist government that the Fireflies, the largest organized rebel group in the country, want to overthrow.

The Last of Us is based on the 2013 Naughty Dog video game of the same name. It has 9 episodes. Neil Druckmanits creator, made his debut in television directing taking care of the second.

We reiterate: the first season covers the events of the first video game, while the second, already confirmed by HBO, will do the same with those of the second and so far last of the franchise.

An audience that never stops growing

“Long, long time”, the third episode, was the most watched 6.7 million viewerssurpassing the previous two and proving that HBO is blowing away with its new proposition.

According to numbers calculated by Nielsen, the latter was seen by 5.7 million viewers worldwide, a number which, taking into account the former’s 4.7, meant “the highest growth in viewers in the second week for an HBO original drama series in network history.”

Will the fourth episode continue to define the good course of the series?
