In a Max brand spot released on Sunday, the streamer unveiled its first footage of the HBO drama’s sophomore season, which is set to debut in the first half of 2025. In it, Season 2 newbie Catherine O’Hara ( Schitt’s Creek ), presumably wondering about Ellie, asks Joel, “Did you hurt her?” His response: “I saved her.”
Fans of the franchise will recognize this as a deviation from the original story. In the video game, Joel delivers his confession to his brother Tommy (and only Tommy).
What else is to come in Season 2? According to the clip, more chaos, violence and run-ins with infected. (Watch the video above, which also includes new footage from shows like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , And Just Like That… Season 3 and White Lotus Season 3, starting at the 1:16 mark.)
The Last of Us Season 2: Everything We Know So Far View List
Season 1 came to an end after Joel murdered a hospital full of Firefly resistance fighters who intended to kill Ellie in order to figure out a cure for Cordyceps infection. When Ellie — who’d been anesthetized and therefore unaware of both Joel’s actions and the danger to her — came to, Joel lied and said the experiment hadn’t worked. Later, when she made him swear that he was telling the truth, he did so readily… even though he was doubling down on the lie. (Read a recap .)
Abby, a major character in The Last of Us Part II video game, will be played by Kaitlyn Dever ( Dopesick ) in Season 2. Per the official description, Abby is “a skilled soldier whose black-and-white view of the world is challenged as she seeks vengeance for those she loved.”
In addition to Dever and O’Hara, Season 2 cast newbies include: Young Mazino ( BEEF ), Isabela Merced ( 100 Things to Do Before High School ), Danny Ramirez ( The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ), Ariela Barer ( Runaways ), Tati Gabrielle ( Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ) and Spencer Lord ( Heartland ).
