The Last Of Us fans rejoiced when Max announced that season two had finally been confirmed for an April release. With the latest teaser debuting at the CES tech conference yesterday (6 January), audiences can expect to see our favourite sapphic video game series brought to life once again.
With non-binary icon Bella Ramsey back at the helm in the role of Ellie, this second season will see a number of new characters emerge including Ellie’s love interest Dina, played by Isabela Merced. In the latest teaser for the second series, fans were quick to point out the tiny clip of Dina and Ellie slow dancing, hinting that we will almost certainly see their love story progress in this new series.
Based on the popular video game franchise, The Last Of Us follows one man’s attempt at escorting a teenager across a post-apocalyptic world. The original video game featured a groundbreaking sapphic kiss, providing much-needed LGBTQIA representation within the gaming world.
Similarly to season one, season two already looks like it will be jam-packed with action. For fans of the original video games, the showrunners have confirmed that much of this series will follow the plot lines seen in the game itself.
Season two’s logline read: “Five years after the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie are drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.”
Bella Ramsey posted the new teaser to Instagram with the caption: “You might wanna turn your telly on in April.”
This season will consist of seven episodes. Max hasn’t released a specific date yet for its release.
