Fans of The Last of Us are eagerly anticipating the upcoming second season, full of anxiety about the unforeseen events that await our beloved characters. The recently released trailer has only amplified this sense of dread, offering glimpses into a tumultuous narrative landscape.
Those familiar with the game are speculating on whether this season will closely follow the storyline presented in Part II. The casting of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby has sparked particular concern among fans regarding the fate of their cherished characters.
**Caution: Spoilers for The Last of Us – Part II ahead**
As we dive deeper into the speculations surrounding season two, the extent to which the game’s plot will influence the series remains unclear. There are theories suggesting that while we might witness more interactions with Joel Miller, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, his ultimate demise may still parallel the game’s storyline. The new trailer, which highlights Abby prominently but features less of Joel, adds to the unease among fans.
In the initial portions of Part II, Joel and Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, face significant tension, maintaining a strained father-daughter relationship. Joel’s unexpected encounter with Abby and her group leads to catastrophic consequences. Given the acclaim Pedro Pascal has received for his portrayal, fans had hoped for a twist that might allow Joel to escape his scripted fate, especially after the success of the first season.
Can We Plead for One More Season?
What frustrates many fans about the game narrative is the lack of time spent with Joel and Ellie right at the start of Part II. The proximity of the show’s seasons has led numerous viewers to hope for a chance to see more moments of connection between them before tragedy strikes. But as the current trajectory appears, this hope may not be realized.
There remains a possibility that our assumptions could be off-base—that perhaps the trailer is merely an introduction to Abby, leaving room for Joel to continue his journey. Still, the sparse presence of Joel in promotional material is disheartening. Fans are left to wonder about his fate as they ponder, “What will happen to my devoted dad?”
Until April arrives, we will wait in suspense to see if Joel Miller’s story continues. Personally, I’m unprepared for the emotional turmoil that may lie ahead.
