The only cure for a pandemic that has engulfed the world and brought about the end of humanity is a 14-year-old girl named Ellie. Joel, who is left alone in the world, has the task of delivering Ellie, the cure for the epidemic, to scientists. However, it is uncertain whether Ellie will survive in the hands of scientists searching for a cure. In response, Joel chooses to save Ellie instead of saving humanity.

In the first season of the HBO series, the unexpected duo Joel and Ellie decide to travel across the country to find a cure for a deadly fungal infection turning victims into zombies. This was a great success - breaking viewing records even during its 2023 broadcast. The series also pleased fans of the 2013 video game 'The Last of Us' by faithfully telling its dark and emotional story.

To tell the next shocking episode of the second season's story, 'The Last of Us' brought together an impressive team of famous directors. Alongside creative Neil Druckmann and showrunner Craig Mazin, 'The Last of Us' added names like Emmy-winning Mark Mylod (Succession), Kate Herron (Loki), Nina Lopez-Corrado (Perry Mason), and Stephen Williams (Watchmen). Peter Hoar, who directed the beloved third episode 'Long, Long Time' in the first season, will also return.

According to Pascal in a 2023 interview, staying true to the reality of the game throughout the second season would be logical. Pascal added in Esquire's accompanying 'Explain This' video: 'It wouldn't make much sense to deviate seriously from the first game. Speaking recently on the red carpet at the Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of his new film Freaky Tales, Pascal highlighted that the show's producers would 'always find ways to build on the incredible source material they have and surprise us with how they can use that material in a different format like a television show.' However, the lead actor said, 'I don't want to spoil anyone, and the truth is, I don't have all the information yet.'

According to HBO's statement, the release date for the second season seems to be around 2025.

'If something like that happens in the show,' Ramsey said in an Esquire interview featuring Pascal, 'I don't know if I'm emotionally prepared for it.' Exciting developments are on the way!

Yes, HBO has officially identified the actors for the most important characters of the second season: Abby, Jesse, and Dina. To start, Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick) officially joins the cast as Abby - that is, the most influential member of the crazy twists and turns of The Last of Us Part II's story. We won't spoil anything here, just letting those familiar with the video game know that this announcement was eagerly awaited. We leave you with a short teaser from HBO describing Abby as a 'talented soldier who challenges the world's black-and-white view, seeking revenge for her loved ones.'

There is no doubt about the talent of the actors.

According to Deadline, Dever stood out as a prominent figure after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike in November. Mazin and Druckmann said in an official statement, 'Our casting process for the second season was entirely the same as the first season: we are looking for actors worldwide who reflect the spirit of the characters in the source material. There is nothing more important than talent, and we are excited to have an award-winning performer like Kaitlyn join our family alongside Pedro, Bella, and the rest.'

But it doesn't end there; "The Last of Us" has also brought in two other important actors for the second season.

Young Mazino (Beef) was announced as Jesse, and Isabela Merced (Madame Web) will play Dina. According to HBO, Jesse is a selfless member of the couple's new community, and fans of The Last of Us Part II will recognize Dina as the person Ellie fell in love with in the end. Merced also co-starred with Dever in the 2022 Shakespeare film Rosaline. The creators of The Last of Us spoke about Mazino's acting, saying he is 'one of the rare actors who is immediately unacceptable when you see him.' The two new additions posed with Bella Ramsay on Instagram, indicating they have arrived for the shoot in Vancouver.
