Every path has a price in new trailer for ‘The Last of Us’ Season II
2025 is moving fast, and one of the most anticipated release for the year is without a doubt Max’s The Last of Us Season II, which will pick up from the critically acclaimed and smash hit series, and the debut o a new trailer at this year’s SXSW promises a visceral and raw watch for audiences.
Check out the new trailer below:
Picking up five years after the events of The Last of Us, Season I, Season II, will follow Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), whose relationship is now strained and frayed as they deal with new threats, including that of the vengeful Abbie (Kaitlyn Dever).
The newly released trailer is a quick fire hit of action and intensity, showcasing the breadth of dramatic character tension and explosive action as the threats of both the infected and the worse sides of humanity swirl around our main characters and they are once again thrown into turmoil.
Season II will adapt the events of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us II, with the video game narrative serving as an inspiration for the second season, which will be explored over successive seasons. Ideas of isolation and the mental fatigue of loss and hardship will be big thematic driving points within the game, and audiences will be in for plenty of surprises, and the series seven episode count offers the creative team space to do things differently. The creative team have also confirmed that they want to look at the darker side of the first season’s theme of ‘unconditional love’, and this will keep things that much more on edge.
Much fanfare has followed with the production of Season II, particularly in the casting of Kaitlyn Dever as series antagonist Abbie, who was cast based on her performance in No One Will Save You, and it’s clear that she’ll bring a very hard edge to the series. Both the action and the drama of Season II of The Last of Us will be ramped up, and in a recent panel at SXSW, both the creative team and series stars discussed just what audiences can expect:
The Last of Us Season II will debut on NEON and Sky TV on April 14.
