The Last Of Us
Summary
admonition : This clause contain freebooter forThe Last of Us Part II .
New leak photos from the set of HBO’sThe Last of Usall but corroborate how much of the video game will be cover in time of year 2 ( and how faithful it ’ll be to Naughty Dog ’s polarizing sequel ) . Whereas the first time of year of the HBO series covered the entirety of the first game ( and its DLC ) , the second season wo n’t cover the totality of the second secret plan . Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have confirmed that the show will take two or maybe even three seasons to tell the story ofThe Last of Us Part II .
The Last of Usseason 2is expected to dwell of seven episode , two episodes short of time of year 1 ’s nine - episode ravel . Speculation has run rampant about how the HBO series will chop up the biz . Will it linearize the Jackson flashbacks ? Will it show Ellie and Abby ’s perspective of the three day in Seattle concurrently ? Just how reliably will the show adapt the plot ? The latest leak pic from the set ofThe Last of Usseason 2 seem to confirm just how faithful the show ’s adaption will be , and how much of the game these seven episodes will cover .
Catherine O’Hara ’s undisclosed role in The Last of Us season 2 credibly wo n’t be the Seraphite prophet – but I call back I know who it will be .
Set Photos Of Bella Ramsey & Young Mazino Suggest The Last Of Us Season 2 Will Cover All 3 Of Ellie’s Seattle Days
Season 2 will get to Ellie and Jesse’s journey to the aquarium
Redditoru / OwenChristopherNDAhas leak a photo from the set ofThe Last of Usseason 2 depicting Bella Ramsey and Young Mazino , the role player who ’s been cast as Jesse , on an clouded street . Unless the television show is making some drastic changes to the game ’s storytelling , they’re inject scenes from Ellie and Jesse ’s journey to the aquarium from the Seattle Day 3 segment . Ellie wo n’t leave Seattle without Tommy and Dina wo n’t leave Seattle without Ellie , so Jesse reluctantly concur to attach to Ellie to the aquarium where Abby is obscure so they can get Tommy and head back to Jackson .
This is the home stretchiness of Ellie ’s hunting for Abby . While Jesse is well-chosen to give up the pursuance for revenge and only wants to deliver Tommy , Ellie is still on the QT determined to claim retribution . Ellie stop up desolate Jesse to pursue Abby to the aquarium , but Abby is n’t there . After Ellie kills two of Abby ’s nigh friends , Owen and Mel , Tommy and Jesse arrive to get her back to the field of operations hideout . The plan is to desolate the revenge mission and head back to Jackson , but before they can set off , Abby makes a surprise appearance at the theater .
The late set picture suggest that all of this will be covered in season 2.Earlier set photos render Ramsey and Isabela Mercedin a shoot location that intimately resemble the Capitol Hill discussion section from Ellie and Dina ’s Seattle Day 1 adventures . All these set photos of Ellie ’s journey through Seattle – paired with the fact thatAbby ’s TV actor , Kaitlyn Dever , has been nowhere to be seen on any of the Seattle sets – seem to confirm thatseason 2 will cover Ellie ’s three Day in Seattle and salve Abby ’s day for time of year 3 , mirroring the body structure of the game .

The Last of Usseason 2 will air sometime in 2025 .
Abby’s Storyline Might Be Saved For Season 3
If season 2 is Ellie’s story, season 3 will cover Abby’s story
Seven episodes is nowhere nigh enough to brood both Ellie and Abby ’s Seattle plot line , and Dever has n’t been understand film any of Abby ’s scenes , so it seems likely that time of year 2 will focus square on Ellie ’s three - day storyline . This would intend that Abby ’s three - day plot line is being write for season 3 . Audiences will come Ellie ’s relentless pursuance for revenge , then on the spur of the moment pivot to follow the character she wants retaliation against . This is the accurate same storytelling conjuring trick the game used : players fiddle through all three days as Ellie before move back to toy them all over again from Abby ’s perspective .
This was necessary in the video plot medium , because game are limited to one perspective at a time , but the TV show could ’ve used cross - cutting to show both perspectives simultaneously . However , that might ’ve assume some of the impact out of the storytelling . The structure ofThe Last of Us Part IIwas chosen very specifically to manipulate the audience ’s emotion . Abby ’s brutal killing of Joelmakes the participant hate her immediately – and makes them want revenge just as much as Ellie – and the game forces them to sit with those spirit as they chase the elusive Abby across Seattle .
Throughout Ellie ’s three day in Seattle , Abby rest more of an idea than a human being . All the grief and anguish and repent that Ellie is feeling is stick out onto the idea of Abby . The switch to Abby ’s view pulls the rug out from under the playerand forces them to rue wanting her deadened so badly as they agnize she had an understandable need for kill Joel and she ’s been rack by compunction ever since . That rug - pull would n’t work as well if the story kept cutting back to Abby ’s redemption arc while Ellie was seeking retaliation .
The Theater Confrontation Will Make A Great Season 2 Finale
It’s a bombshell twist
Just when Ellie is about to give up on her quest to line up Abby and revenge Joel , Abby comes to her . Abby arrives at the theater , takes Tommy hostage , stamp out Jesse , and holds Ellie at gunpoint as she realizes the the great unwashed whose lives she spared have tracked her down and murdered all her Quaker . And then , cut to black . The game then dive right into Abby ’s story . But the tv set show can make that issue - to - nigrify a jaw - drop cliffhanger in the season 2 stopping point . This bombshell twist could make for a really great season closing curtain that leave the audience guessing .
Why Copying The Split Story Structure Of The Game Is A Big Risk
An Abby-centric season 3 might alienate some viewers
While the split story structure is a huge rationality whyThe Last of Us Part IIhas such a profound shock on audience , it would be a monolithic risk for the HBO series to copy that social structure . For as many gamers as there were who loved the twisty storytelling ofThe Last of Us Part IIand came to love Abby just as much as they have intercourse Joel and Ellie , there were just as many who gave up on the biz as soon as they were forced to play as Joel ’s killer . Some boob tube audiences might do the same .
Since gamers have to give full price for a game whether they finish it or not , this did n’t affect the profitability of the secret plan . But video shows demand to keep witness amount back every week in Holy Order to bide profitable . An Ellie - centric season 2 will surely please buff ofThe Last of Us , but an Abby - centric season 3 could alienate some viewer like the Abby chapters alienated some gamers . A lot ofWalking Deadviewers stopped watching after Negan killed Glenn , and that show did n’t give Negan his own season - foresightful electric discharge right on after .
