The highly anticipated first trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 has just been released, and fans are speculating that this new season may conclude on a dark and brutal note.
There’s a significant spoiler we need to discuss regarding the storyline. A pivotal event from The Last of Us Part II is expected to be incorporated into The Last of Us Season 2, whether directly or indirectly.
If you’re unfamiliar with the heart-wrenching narrative of The Last of Us and want to avoid spoilers, it’s best to watch the new trailer with caution. For those who are aware or curious about the spoilers, keep reading!
In the sequel, Joel meets a tragic fate at the hands of Abby, the daughter of the Firefly doctor whom he shot at the end of the first game. Abby brutally kills him with a golf club while Ellie watches, setting off her quest for revenge.
The initial trailer for Season 2 suggests a faithful adaptation of the game while also giving fans a first look at Kaitlyn Dever’s portrayal of Abby in live-action. However, considering the emphasis on Joel’s guilt and his bond with Ellie—evidenced by a touching scene where Ellie plays guitar with him—it seems plausible that the showrunners might rearrange the story timeline.
In other words, many fans believe that Season 2 could culminate with Joel’s death, providing context for Ellie’s journey throughout the upcoming episodes and laying the groundwork for Season 3. For instance, we see Ellie playing the guitar in front of Dina, hinting at their journey to Seattle—yet what if we don’t fully understand her motives for hunting Abby until the finale?
“Oh, they’re going to end Season II with Joel f**king dying, aren’t they?” one user predicted.
“THIS LOOKS INTENSE AND I AM HERE FOR IT! (especially if you played through the second game, it goes wild to say the least) I wonder how they’ll conclude the season if it’ll be THAT MOMENT,” another viewer speculated.
“Abby is seen surviving the St. Mary’s massacre, joining Isaac & WLF, and gathering her friends to hunt for Joel. The Season 2 finale could see her going clubbing,” a third user theorized.
The Last of Us Season 2 is set to premiere in 2025. In the meantime, check out the latest TV shows streaming this month, and stay updated on what’s happening with Stranger Things Season 5 and Mortal Kombat 2.
