The trailer foretells of a bitter schism between Joel and Ellie played by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, foreshadowing the clashes that will come with their common past. As the story unfolds, their relationship is subjected to the cruelty of their environment.

Along with the action, there are glimpses of romance, giving another dimension to the story.
Season 2 brings on board a number of new characters, such as Abby, who is played by Kaitlyn Dever, and other people who will feature prominently in the show. The trailer also shows a man and his daughter running through the forest, which shows the desperation and fear that has engulfed the survivors in this world after the apocalypse.
The second season of ‘The Last of Us’ premieres on April 13 on Max, with a much-awaited comeback for fans of the series. With a mix of explosive action, emotional resonance, and compelling storytelling, Season 2 is poised to enthrall audiences once again.
