A new trailer for The Last of Us has been released, teasing some of the events to come in the show’s second season.
Additionally, while we still don’t have a specific date, it has been announced that The Last of Us season two will begin airing in April. That’s the same month The Last of Us Part 2 will make its PC debut.
The trailer, which you can see below, lasts a little over a minute, but still manages to cram in the suspense. Along with Ellie and Joel, we also get another look at new characters for this season, including Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby and Isabela Merced’s Dina. Please note, beneath the trailer I will be going into more detail about what was shown, so be aware of major spoilers for The Last of Us Part 2 below.
A fair portion of the trailer is made up with snippets of scenes we have seen before: Ellie and Dina getting swarmed by infected in the subway, Ellie at the Jackson dance (although this time with Dina), Joel shedding a tear during a presumed therapy session, the tender moment between a weary looking Tommy and Maria, and so on.
Jeffrey Wright, reprising his role as Isaac, and the Seraphites are also glimpsed during the latest trailer for season two.
But there are also two moments I particularly want to highlight, which are sure to pack an emotional punch upon the series’ release.
The first is the very opening of the trailer, which begins in a hallway with a wailing siren and ominous red lighting. A lone figure walks into the shot. She is holding a gun with a Firefly pendant around her neck. It is Abby, and this scene is clearly set in the hospital after Joel’s rampage at the end of season one.
