Warning : MAJOR spoilers ahead for The Last of Us Part II game , which will likely spoilThe Last of Usseason 2and beyond . Photos fromThe Last of Usseason 2 ’s set have convert me that I cognise where in the story the next run of episodes will conclude , and if I ’m right , I go for HBO knows what it ’s doing . I’m a big fan ofThe Last of Us Part II , the plot on which season 2 will be found , so I ’m keenly aware of all the plot of ground twists and general plot line that are likely to be double in the continuation of the live - legal action version . The same was also true regarding my knowledge ofThe Last of Usseason 1 ’s ending .

The duration of the game meansThe Last of Usseason 3 ( and perhaps beyond ) will be required to do the story jurist in its new frame . Therefore , The Last of Usseason 2 ’s storyneeds to decide where to leave the audience require more . If my hypothesis about when this may be is true , then the show must be careful . One of the game ’s big moments could set the stage for a monolithic cliffhanger ahead ofThe Last of Usseason 3 ’s discharge . However , if so , I ’m worried it could in reality ache the show overall if wield incorrectly .

In The Last of Us Part II , Ellie boasts a fresh tattoo on her arm and , base on former footage , The Last of Us season 2 have her fern tattoo too .

I’m Worried That The Last Of Us Season 2 Will End With The Game’s Theater Scene

The Last of Us Part II’s theater scene is one of the game’s most pivotal moments

The Last of Usseason 2 set photosshow Bella Ramsey ’s Ellie and Young Manzino ’s Jesse interacting in what look like a key second from the second game . The attending to item is telling , but one actor ’s absence concern me . Kaitlyn Dever has been cast as Abby , one of the main " opponent " inThe Last of Us Part II . In the game , Abby ’s murderous rampage through the field is one of the game ’s biggest turning point . Dever ’s absence seizure from the set photos make me think her appearance wo n’t be until the very death of time of year 2 .

If I ’m right , then Abby ’s execution of Jesse would beThe Last of Usseason 2 ’s most logical stopping power point .

If I ’m right , then Abby ’s execution of Jesse would beThe Last of Usseason 2 ’s most logical stopping point . In the source material , this is where Ellie is give behind , and the player is forced to play as Abby . It ’s a huge moment , and I remember it bright calling into inquiry the definition of what it means to be a villain . Using the moment as a cliffhanger alternatively meansAbby ’s story wo n’t be addressed in time of year 2 other than through Ellie ’s eyes- which bring in Abby seem absolutely like the scoundrel that I ’m not sure she is .

The Last Of Us Needs To Walk A Fine Line With Abby If This Is Where Season 2 Ends

The Last Of Us season 2 may need to plant the seed of Abby’s moral ambiguity earlier than the game

There ’s no doubt that until I was forced to dally as Abby in the game , I saw her character as nothing but a scoundrel - and I ’m sure I ’m not alone in that assessment . My view of Abby transform during her levels , and I ’m certain the live - action adjustment of the fib will finally get around to doing the same affair . That being said , ifThe Last of Usseason 2 is concentrating on Ellie ’s three - mean solar day rampage through Seattle , thenthere wo n’t be much room for Abby ’s story to be showntoo , despite the fact it ’s actually happening alongside Ellie ’s .

I recollect what ’s more potential is that some of the more redemptive element of Abby ’s history will be waver through the structure of the show while Ellie ’s arc unfolds

I ca n’t imagine Dever ’s sole visual aspect inThe Last of Usseason 2 will be during Joel ’s murder shot . alternatively , I think what ’s more probable is that some of the more redeeming elements of Abby ’s story will be weave through the social system of the show while Ellie ’s arc unfolds . If so , the show call for to be very careful not to ball up the illusion ahead of time of Abby being a textbook , bloody-minded baddie . She is n’t , but part of what made the experience of larn that in the game was the fact it came immediately after Jesse was killed .

Why Saving Abby’s Story Until Season 3 Could Hurt The HBO Series

Fewer people may want to watch The Last of Us episodes centered entirely around Abby

IfThe Last of Usseason 2 ends before Abby ’s motive can be fully explored , then that drastically increases the likelihood ofThe Last of Usseason 3 focus almost totally on Kaitlyn Dever ’s eccentric . In the secret plan , Abby is a soundly unlikeable character until the view switchesafter the theatre prospect . If the show faithfully duplicate this attitude toward her , then there could be far few hoi polloi unforced to tune up in and watch the following season if it ’s all about Abby .

The Last of Us time of year 2 will have to make some major changes to The Last of Us Part II in adapting the epic continuation game for television .

As a devotee of the game , I ’d still be very excited to see how Abby ’s history is adapted for TV . However , not all the show ’s lover are familiar with the source material . So , the writers ca n’t rely too to a great extent on the parcel of the fan base that knows what ’s come . If they do , then the ratings forThe Last of Usseason 3 could plummet as a consequence of the audience being push to watch instalment orbit around someone they do n’t like , which could in turn throw away the show ’s overall future into jeopardy .
