The anticipation for the second season of the series The Last of Us continues to grow as its premiere approaches, scheduled for about a month from now. This expectation is reflected in the incredible success of the trailer, which has reached over 158 million views in just three days, becoming the most viewed in HBO’s history. This impressive number represents a 160% increase compared to the teasers of the first season, demonstrating the unwavering interest that this adaptation has generated among fans.
The trailer reveals a significant change in the relationship between Ellie and Joel, who will have to face an increasingly hostile and unpredictable world. This emotional evolution is a central aspect of the narrative, promising to take the audience on a journey that will evoke the same intense emotions that players experienced in The Last of Us: Part 2, released in 2020 and awarded the title of Game of the Year. The series, like the video game, will address dark and complex themes that have resonated with fans since its debut.
A second season with new faces and even more tension
In this new installment, a key character will be Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever. The actress is aware of the pressure that comes with taking on the role of Abby, especially after the divisive reactions it provoked in the gaming community. In a recent interview, Dever spoke about her commitment to doing justice to the character: “I want to make the fans feel proud by bringing her to life this way,” she shared, acknowledging the challenges and expectations she faces.
With the record number of views for the trailer and the focus on new characters, the second season of The Last of Us seems ready to capture the audience’s attention and continue the narrative of one of the most successful video games of the last decade.
