The Last of Us Season 2: See Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in First Photos — Plus: When Will It Be Back?
The Last of Us won’t be back until 2025, but HBO on Wednesday gave fans a glimpse of what their favorite post-apocalyptic pair will be up to in Season 2.
The first photos from The Last of Us‘ sophomore season show Pedro Pascal’s Joel and Bella Ramsey’s Ellie looking a little older (and maybe worse for wear) when the show returns. The images were released as part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s annual upfronts presentation in New York City. Check out the shot of Joel at the top of this post, and Ellie below.
In addition, HBO announced that The Last of Us will be back in the first half of 2025. (Previously, the network had only committed to “2025.”)
Season 1 came to an end after Joel killed a hospital full of Firefly resistance fighters who intended to kill Ellie in order to figure out a cure for Cordyceps infection. When Ellie — who’d been anesthetized and therefore unaware of both Joel’s actions and the danger to her — came to, Joel lied and said the experiment hadn’t worked. Later, when she made him swear that he was telling the truth, he did so readily… even though he was doubling down on the lie. (Read a recap.)
The Last of Us Season 2: Everything We Know So Far
