‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 Trailer Teases Bitter Rift Between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s Joel and Ellie — Plus Romance, Explosions and More Monsters

HBO debuted the trailer for Season 2 of “The Last of Us” at SXSW on Saturday at a panel featuring the cast and series creators.

The trailer is as full of monsters and violence as Season 1 was — with a lot more fire.

Cast members Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced and Young Mazino appeared on the SXSW panel alongside series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.

“The Last of Us” is based on Naughty Dog’s PlayStation video games of the same name, which were written and creative directed by Druckmann. The series is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, Word Games, Mighty Mint and Naughty Dog. Executive producers include Mazin, Druckmann, Carolyn Strauss, Jacqueline Lesko, Cecil O’Connor, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan and Evan Wells, while Halley Gross serves as a co-executive producer and writer.

Season 2 of “The Last of Us” premieres on April 13. See the trailer below.
