The Last of Us Season Two teaser gives first look at Kaitlyn Dever as Abby

HBO has launched its first teaser for the second season of The Final of Us.

The teaser is brief, however offers us a take a look at some returning and new faces coming to the second season. New faces embrace Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and Catherine O’Hara’s nonetheless to be named character (though earlier rumours instructed her character will probably be known as Gail).

You’ll be able to try the teaser under, in direction of the top of HBO’s newest sizzle reel. It begins at across the 01:15 mark. After the trailer, I will probably be breaking down a couple of bits I seen, so please pay attention to spoilers for The Final of Us Half 2 (the online game) under.

The primary clip we see is panning down on a celebration scene, lit up by fairy lights. The again of a lady’s head will be seen, as she watches out over the dance ground.

That is Bella Ramsey’s Ellie, and the scene proven right here is mainly a carbon copy from that very same second within the sport.

Whereas the above footage is taking part in, we hear a lady’s voice asking “Did you damage her?”, to which Pedro Pascal’s Joel replies: “No.” The trailer then pans to Ellie’s scarred arm, and her tattoo.

Within the sport, it’s revealed that between the occasions of The Final of Us and The Final of Us Half 2, Ellie covers her chew mark (which she obtained within the shopping center together with her buddy Riley throughout the collection’ DLC, Left Behind) first with a chemical burn and later, by getting her ex-girlfriend Cat to tattoo over the world.

The second shared in HBO’s teasers seems to be Ellie getting the tattoo, suggesting that we might meet Cat throughout the present’s second season (or, that is only a transient flashback scene and Cat’s fingers could also be all we get to see).

After seeing Ellie’s arm, we get to see the girl who was talking to Joel, and it is Catherine O’Hara’s character. I beforehand questioned if O’Hara would play both a member of the WLF or a Seraphite, however she seems to be a Jackson resident given her seemingly shut relationship with Joel.

O’Hara beforehand stated she had filmed scenes with each Joel and Ellie, so I now surprise if she’s going to attempt to act as a mediator between the 2 throughout the Jackson scenes (those that have performed the sport will know there’s friction between Joel and Ellie after the occasions of Half 1).

My different concept is she is a few form of resident therapist that Jackson’s group confides in. Her function within the collection was beforehand stated to be an all-new character, so that might match. The primary season did additionally handle Joel’s trauma and psychological well being, so this could possibly be the following evolution of his journey.

Proper now, I’m not precisely positive what is occurring on this subsequent scene. Ellie will be seen screaming as somebody barely off display screen tries to carry her down on a mattress of types.

First, I questioned if this was a traumatic dream Ellie was having, and he or she is picturing herself contained in the Firefly hospital unable to cease Joel from his killing spree.

I then questioned if this was another person pouring the chemical substances on her chew scar, and Ellie screaming in ache. This is able to counsel that Ellie and Joel had confided in a number of different members of the Jackson group, although, so I’m not positive how possible that is. Ideas welcome!

We’re again outdoors for the following transient clip, which reveals a snowy panorama with a big walled construction – Jackson – being stormed by a big horde of working assailants. Whereas we won’t see their faces, it’s truthful to imagine that this can be a horde of contaminated runners.

The subsequent clip present’s Gabriel Luna’s Tommy utilizing his gun to shoot out into the snow, I assume at these very runners, defending Jackson. Within the sport, Jackson’s residents often patrol the encompassing areas to defend the settlement from contaminated.

The subsequent few clips are once more transient, however we get our first official take a look at season two’s Seraphites, Isabela Merced as Dina and Jeffrey Wright, reprising his function as Isaac.

Earlier photographs had leaked of Merced on set with Ramsey, as they filmed in Canada. A picture of Wright additionally appeared on-line, and appeared to counsel we will probably be studying extra about Isaac’s backstory when season two airs.

Finally, we now get our first very fast glimpse of Dever’s Abby. This picture is once more nearly a carbon copy of the identical second within the sport. We see Abby carrying a darkish beanie hat fleeing from a swarm of contaminated.

She is on the cusp of being overcome by the swarm, with a wired fence being pressed down over her as she tries to crawl by the snow to security.

The ultimate few photographs from the teaser present a horseback trip within the snow (one thing we once more see within the sport).

We additionally see Ellie and Dina in a subway working from a clicker. I’m going to counsel this represents The Final of Us Half 2’s ‘Tunnels’ part, the place the 2 make their means by practice automobiles whereas preventing off enemies.

The ultimate shot from the teaser reveals Joel, a tear rolling down his cheek, telling O’Hara he saved Ellie. Firstly of The Final of Us Half 2, Joel confides in his brother Tommy. He might nicely nonetheless do that within the collection, as nicely, however I ponder if this tête-à-tête between Joel and O’Hara’s character will probably be what opens the season.

The teaser then ends.

So, what do you assume thus far? I’d have beloved to see extra of Abby, and the WLF, however this actually was only a teaser so I’m positive we are going to see extra of them within the coming months.

The second season of The Final of Us is because of air in 2025. It won’t cowl the whole lot of the second sport, however could have “much more contaminated” than within the first season.
