The Last of Us’ new season 2 trailer puts Joel and Ellie through the wringer

Warner Bros. Discovery has debuted an official teaser trailer for the second season of The Last of Us, and it looks like it’s going to be a rough one for Joel and Ellie — which, if you’ve played The Last of Us Part II, should be no surprise.

“After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind,” according to Warner Bros. Discovery’s official logline for the season.

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey again star as Joel and Ellie. New cast members include Kaitlyn Dever, who plays Abby, Isabela Merced, who plays Dina, and Jeffrey Wright, who is reprising his role as Isaac Dixon in the game for the TV show.

TLOU’s second season still has an unspecific 2025 release date for HBO and Max. The season will be seven episodes long, making it two episodes shorter than the first.
