The Last of Us Season 2 Features a Scene Gamers Will ‘Eat Up,’ Teases Neil Druckmann

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that I am beyond excited for The Last of Us Season 2! Having played both games, I can attest to the richness and depth they offer, and I’m eager to see how HBO will expand upon these stories.


As a hardcore gamer, I’m counting down the days until HBO drops The Last of Us Season 2 in 2025! It’s no secret that I’ve been eagerly awaiting this sequel, and it seems like I’m not alone. Neil Druckmann, one of the masterminds behind Naughty Dog’s original game, is thrilled to see fans who watched the series first are now giving the game a try. It’s a unique experience to have both the TV show and the video game in my gaming arsenal, and I can’t wait to delve deeper into this post-apocalyptic world!

Druckmann shared with Variety that one aspect he’s found particularly rewarding is when fans of the show decide to play the game, share their thoughts on the unique experiences, and sometimes discover elements hinted at in either format that weren’t fully explored in the other. He finds joy in hearing about these enriched experiences from fans when they engage with both the show and the game.

In simple terms, Season 2 is inspired by the video game The Last of Us Part II. Druckmann enjoys how the series provides ample time to delve into the characters and their histories. He’s excited for gamers to experience a particular scene in Season 2 that he believes they will find particularly engaging.

In addition, there are certain aspects of this season that have me genuinely thrilled – elements we’ve previously teased – one specific scene stands out, which I believe dedicated fans of the game will relish. This scene offers a substantial amount of backstory for a crucial character, a narrative detail we found difficult to convey within the game itself.

Who is Involved in The Last of Us Season 2?

For The Last of Us Season 2, Pedro Pascal takes on the role of Joel, with Bella Ramsey portraying Ellie. Joining them are Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Rutina Wesley as Maria. In addition, there are some new faces: Kaitlyn Dever plays Abby, Isabela Merced is Dina, Young Mazino steps into the character of Jesse, Ariela Barer becomes Mel, Tati Gabrielle portrays Nora, Spencer Lord takes on Owen, Danny Ramirez plays Manny, and Jeffrey Wright brings Isaac Dixon to life.
