The Last of Us premiered in January 2023 to widespread acclaim, often hailed as the best video game adaptation to date. Season 1 garnered eight Emmy awards out of 24 nominations. The eagerly awaited Season 2 will see Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal reprising their roles as Ellie and Joel, with Kaitlyn Dever joining the cast as Abby, a soldier driven by vengeance after losing someone dear to her. Season 2 also welcomes new talents such as Young Mazino from Beef, Isabelle Merced from Alien: Romulus, Danny Ramirez from Captain America: Brave New World, and seasoned actors Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Wright.
Recently, series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann shared their thoughts with IGN on the ongoing "Was Joel right?" debate, a central theme in the franchise since the game's 2013 release.
“I believe Joel was right,” said Neil Druckmann, head of Naughty Dog. “If I were in Joel's position, I hope I would be able to do what he did to save my daughter.” On the other hand, Craig Mazin, the showrunner of Chernobyl, offered a different perspective. “That's so interesting, because I think that if I were in Joel's position, I probably would have done what he did,” he remarked. “But I'd like to think that I wouldn't. That's the interesting push and pull of the morality of it. And that's why the ending of the first game is so provocative and so wonderful. It just doesn't let you off the hook as a player.”
The Last of Us Season 2 is set to premiere on Max on April 13, 2025. While the release date for Season 3 remains uncertain, you can read IGN's spoiler-free review of The Last of Us Season 2 for more insights.
