Filming of The Last of Us Season 2 Ends

Filming for HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 has officially wrapped, as confirmed by editor Timothy Good, with a wrap party celebrating the cast and crew. The anticipated season, which is based on the video game The Last of Us Part II, is set to premiere in early 2025 and will feature returning stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, alongside new cast members including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and Isabela Merced as Dina. Following the wrap, post-production has commenced, and rumors suggest a teaser trailer might be released on September 26, 2024. The character Abby has drawn significant attention due to the backlash faced by the original game's actress, leading to Dever's increased security on set. Isabela Merced praised her co-stars and hinted at the emotional challenges they faced during production, emphasizing the importance of respecting the actors' roles. Meanwhile, co-creator Neil Druckmann has hinted at potential plans for a third installment in the franchise, suggesting the story may continue beyond Season 2.
