HBO releases new stills from 'The Last of Us' season 2

HBO has released new images from season 2 of "The Last of Us," giving fans a look at both returning and new characters. The show is set to premiere on April 13, 2025. The stills feature main characters Joel, played by Pedro Pascal, and Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey. Fans can also see Catherine O'Hara as Gail, Joel's therapist, and Isabela Merced as Dina, Ellie’s love interest. In the pictures, Joel and Ellie appear to be training with guns and riding horses in snowy Jackson, Wyoming. This setting has been their home for five years since the dramatic end of season 1. Abby, a new character portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever, is also highlighted in the stills. She is described as a skilled soldier seeking vengeance, making her a significant figure in the story. The images show moments between Dina and Ellie, including a sweet dance scene reminiscent of a moment in the "The Last of Us Part II" game. Isabela Merced's character will play an important role in the season, as she interacts not only with Ellie but also with Joel. Fans can expect more sneak peeks and updates leading up to the season 2 release. The excitement for the upcoming episodes continues to grow.
