I’ve got some good news and some bad news about The Last of Us Season 2 teaser.
The good news? It looks like Joel (Pedro Pascal) is going to therapy, with none other than Catherine O’Hara playing his therapist. The bad news? Viewers might have to tag along to his next session, because this teaser promises a world of pain, from Clickers charging the town of Jackson to some strained looks between Joel and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) that suggest the two might not be as close as they once were.
The quick teaser also gives us our first glimpse at new characters, including former Firefly Abby (Kaitlyn Dever, Booksmart), Ellie’s girlfriend Dina (Isabela Merced, Alien: Romulus), Washington Liberation Front leader Isaac (Jeffrey Wright, American Fiction), and Jackson resident Jesse (Young Mazino, Beef). But the teaser’s biggest focus remains Joel, who’s still reckoning with the tough decision he made at the end of Season 1, and how it may have impacted his relationship with Ellie. Let’s just say I’m already stockpiling tissues to prepare for this season.
The Last of Us Season 2 premieres in 2025.
