The countdown has begun for the highly anticipated second season of The Last of Us, which everyone, whether gamers or regular viewers, is eagerly awaiting. HBO executive Casey Bloys has announced that the second season of the video game adaptation, which had a very successful first season, will arrive earlier than expected. In response to a question about the upcoming season, he stated, “Well, all I’ll say now, generally first half of the year. I expect them to be in the Emmy window.”
The second season of the series will focus on the second version of the original video game, and it is likely that the storyline will maintain the originality seen in the first season. In the new season, Kaitlyn Dever will portray Abby, while Isabela Merced will play Ellie’s girlfriend Dina. It is known that fans of “The Last of Us” video game frequently expressed online their opinions that Kaitlyn Dever should have played Ellie years before the show’s production. However, the actor who was desired to portray Ellie will now take on the role of Abby in the second season. How this will impact the media is a major point of curiosity. Additionally, Merced, in an interview, stated, “Give her the damn Emmy, honestly” This indicates that casting Dever as Abby might not have been a bad decision after all.
Overall, it is clear that the long-awaited second season of The Last of Us is approaching its release, and it is just a matter of time before it hits the screens. Knowing that Pedro Pascal will return as Joel is also very exciting. Stay tuned for more news!
