Reuters: Makers of the post-apocalyptic TV series “The Last of Us” say fans are in for extra action and scarier zombies when the show returns for a much-awaited second season, two years after the first season finale aired.
The series is based on the video game franchise of the same name and follows survivors Joel Miller, played by Pedro Pascal, and his young protégé Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who fight mutated creatures and other people.
The show’s second season takes place five years after the events of the first season, and sees Joel and Ellie, who is now 19, settled in Jackson, Wyoming, and at odds with each other.
“There’s a lot more action in this season, or more like physical fighting. It was more intense, more emotionally complex,” Ramsey said premièring the new season in London on Thursday.
The second season also introduces audiences to new characters. It stars Isabela Merced in the role of Dina, Ellie’s best friend, and Beef actor Young Mazino as Dina’s ex, Jesse, a “pillar of his community”.
The series has already been confirmed to return for a third season.
“The Last of Us” season 2 debuts on HBO and Max on Apr 13 and Sky and NOW on Apr 14.
