There was a massive resurgence with The Last of Us thanks to the HBO live-action adaptation. Naughty Dog’s video game was already a cinematic experience for players. So, it likely wasn’t too challenging to adapt the video game into its own series. Still, for those who enjoyed the season, it’s been a waiting game to see when season two will begin production. Fortunately, we know the season production is coming, and already one leading start can’t wait to get back into the heavy stunt work required for the next season.
Recently, Collider had the chance to speak with Bella Ramsey. The interview was partly due to the upcoming film she is promoting, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. However, the publication did manage to squeeze in a question about the upcoming season of The Last of Us. HBO gave the production team the green light to go ahead with a second season during the airing of the debut season. So fans were overjoyed that the show would continue, and the actors involved were able to continue exploring their characters.
Bella was able to confirm that the next season will continue filming during the early part of 2024. It’s noted that several delays pushed the production back. However, the season delay was mainly due to the Hollywood strikes that occurred earlier this year. That pushed several productions back, including The Last of Us season two. However, Bella did note that she is looking forward to the stunt work in the upcoming production. We know that The Last of Us Part II, the game on which the season will be based, will feature a time jump.
Yeah, lots of things. I’m excited for the really intense stuff, because I did a bit of that in Season 1 obviously, but to do that. And actually more physical scenes because Ellie is obviously more physically fit in Season 2. I love stunt stuff, and like waking up with bruises the next day, and finding myself with a black eye, just because it feels like so good to have done it.
Ellie is older and more experienced. We also see Ellie get far more physical in her attacks, along with the different set pieces. I’ll refrain from spoiling anything here, but it looks like the actress is all in on going through these different stunts that might be asked of her. However, we’ll have to wait and see how far the next season will take viewers. It’s been said in the past that The Last of Us Part II is far too big of a game to see adapted into a single season. As a result, we should see at least a third season of the show come out. Of course, there’s no telling if Naughty Dog is working on another part of the game series, which could open up a new narrative chapter to be adapted.
With the future of the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake up in the air, Disney has at least signalled its commitment to the much-loved role-playing game.
The Golden Globes 2024 nominations were revealed last night, with Greta Gerwig's feminist candy-coated romp Barbie, which dominated the box office charts this year, leading the pack. It's got a whopping 10 nominations, including one for Best Musical or Comedy, alongside acting nods for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (supporting). The awards show has also added two new categories to recognise the best in entertainment, starting with a ‘Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' category, which honours the biggest movies of the year, having grossed $150 million (about Rs. 1,250 crore) minimum, of which $100 million must be from within the US. Eight nominees compete for that award, including Barbie, Oppenheimer, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Well now, that was quite the episode of Doctor Who. Clearly wanting to end the 60th anniversary specials with a bang, the latest episode from returning showrunner Russell T Davies, titled The Giggle, saw David Tennant's Doctor and Catherine Tate's Donna Noble take on the Toymaker, played by Neil Patrick Harris.
HBO's highly anticipated sophomore season is coming in 2025.
The Last of Us has always been a major hit with gamers worldwide. When Naughty Dog first released this game on the PlayStation 3, fans were getting a cinematic action-adventure experience. We had a solid narrative experience, and it wasn’t long after that a remastered edition was released. There’s even a complete remake of this game available today, so it certainly has a strong fan base. However, this franchise got a new resurgence when HBO released a live-action adaptation. Now, this IP has fans who have never experienced video games. Shortly into the first season, HBO approved production for season two. Today, we’re discovering that this second season is heading our way in 2025.
The second season of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation will air in 2025, it has now been confirmed.
The Game Awards is right around the corner, airing on December 7th at 4:30 PM PT. Several titles like Metaphor: ReFantazio, Guilty Gear Strive and more will appear, and you can add Red Barrels’ The Outlast Trials to the list. The developer tweeted about an “important broadcast” at the show, with a hotel room and TV featuring the Murkoff Corporation’s logo.
The Last of Us season 2 is officially coming out in 2025 – and we have two years to prepare for another emotionally devastating batch of episodes.
