The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Confirms Game's Most Heartbreaking Moment

As a die-hard fan of The Last of Us who has spent countless hours navigating the post-apocalyptic wasteland alongside Joel and Ellie, I must say that the latest trailer for Season 2 left me with a mix of emotions. On one hand, I’m thrilled to see the adaptation coming to life on screen, especially with Pedro Pascal reprising his role as the gruff but lovable Joel Miller. On the other hand, the confirmation that Ellie will be seen crying uncontrollably in the trailer has me bracing myself for the inevitable heartbreak that lies ahead – the death of our beloved character, Joel Miller.


WARNING! The following contains MAJOR spoilers for The Last of Us Season 2!

Get ready, enthusiasts of “The Last of Us,” as we now have concrete evidence to support our apprehensions about Season 2 of HBO’s adaptation. The latest sneak peek (equivalent to a full trailer) offers fans an extensive glimpse into the main characters for the second season and verifies that Season 2 will incorporate a five-year time leap, mirroring the games’ narrative. The teaser also introduces Jeffrey Wright’s chilling portrayal of Isaac, who voiced the character in the second game and will appear live-action in the upcoming season. Regrettably, this isn’t the only striking moment that will be translated from the contentious sequel to the video game, as the trailer confirms the scene that left the entire fan base divided and tormented.

Luckily for us and the censors, the teaser doesn’t reveal the exact moment, but in a swift, easy-to-miss frame, Ellie (Bella Ramsay) can be seen shedding tears profusely. Casual viewers might not notice this quick shot, but followers of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us series are aware that a major death is approaching far sooner than we would prefer.

Among the harrowing scenes in “The Last of Us,” none is more heart-wrenching than the death of Joel Miller (played by Pedro Pascal). Fans had been anticipating this moment since HBO announced additional seasons for the series, but when it was revealed that Season 2 would have fewer episodes, there was a collective sigh of relief as viewers hoped to postpone witnessing this tragic event. However, with Ellie’s on-screen appearance that echoes her video game counterpart, fans are now almost certain that Joel will perish in Season 2. This scene is expected to unfold in the season finale, paving the way for Ellie’s quest for vengeance in Season 3.

It’s no secret to viewers that Abby will probably have a significant part in Season 2 of the popular series.

Earlier, Isabela Merced, who plays Dina in Season 2, disclosed that Kaitlyn Dever needed additional security since the producers were concerned that overzealous fans might criticize and harass the actress for her character’s behaviors.
