The Last of Us was such a massive hit on HBO. Naughty Dog created a truly cinematic gameplay experience that translated well into a series adaptation. This live-action series was released and gained a following immediately, prompting HBO to order a second season. However, the second season has not had the smoothest start. You can blame the delay in this production on the strikes in Hollywood. But now that the strikes have ended, productions have once again started back up with The Last of Us season two, which is expected to begin filming shortly.

Actress Isabela Merced will play Dina in The Last of Us Season 2.
The show describes Dina's character as «a free-wheeling spirit whose devotion to Ellie will be tested by the brutality of the world they inhabit.»
«Dina is warm, brilliant, wild, funny, moral, dangerous and instantly lovable,» said series co-creators and executive producers Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann in a statement following news of Merced's casting.
«You can search forever for an actor who effortlessly embodies all of those things, or you can find Isabela Merced right away. We couldn't be prouder to have her join our family.»
Meanwhile, on X, The Last of Us Part 2 studio Naughty Dog said it could not wait to see the actress' portrayal of Dina on the show's release.
Merced, whose acting credits include a lead role in Nickelodeon's 100 Things to Do Before High School, joins Bella Ramsey's Ellie, Pedro Pascal's Joel, Kaitlyn Dever's Abby and Young Mazino's Jesse for the second season of The Last of Us.

Filming for the show's second season is expected to kick off next month in Canada, ahead of a release in 2025.
The first season of The Last of Us recently scooped itself eight Emmy awards, including picture editing, main title design, prosthetic makeup, sound editing, sound mixing, and visual effects.
In addition, Storm Reid won the award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series and Nick Offerman won the award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. The actors played Ellie's friend Riley and survivor Bill respectively.

The Last of Us Part 2 almost had a very different ending, according to Remastered commentary
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
