The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization was destroyed by a deadly virus. Joel (Peter Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Beautiful Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, from an oppressive quarantine zone to Fireflies, an organization searching for a cure. What begins as a small job soon becomes a brutal and harrowing journey, as both must traverse the United States and depend on each other for survival.

Dever and Merced are joined by Young Mazino like Jesse, Danny Ramirez like Manny, Ariela Barer like Mel, and Tati Gabrielle like Nora.

When season two was announced, Druckmann said, “I’m honored, humbled and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and enjoyed our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey.

“The collaboration with Craig Mazin, our incredible cast and crew, and HBO has exceeded my already high expectations. Now we have the absolute pleasure of doing it again with Season 2! On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog and PlayStation, thank you!”

Mazin added: “I am so grateful to Neil Druckmann and HBO for our partnership, and I am even more grateful to the millions of people who have joined us on this journey.

“The audience gave us the opportunity to continue, and as a fan of the characters and world that Neil and Naughty Dog have created, I couldn’t be more ready to dive back in.”
