The last of us : A successful video game adaptation
HBO did very well The last of us. By adapting one of the best video games of recent years, driven by an exhausting story, the American channel ran the risk of alienating many fans. But the creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (creator of the game) remained faithful to the original work and thus convinced a large audience (gamers and others). Therefore, the series became a huge success as soon as the first episode was broadcast. With 4.7 million viewers in the United States, The last of us has registered the second-best start to a series since 2010 for HBO. And throughout the season the numbers have been impressive (8.1 million viewers for episode 8).
But if there is one criticism that can be made of the producers of The last of us, this is the moment that will separate the airing of the first two seasons. The finale aired more than a year ago, on March 12, 2023. But the next episodes won’t arrive right away. Filming was delayed, mainly due to the actors’ and actresses’ strike in Hollywood (end of 2023). Result, season 2 of The last of us it’s not expected to arrive before 2025.
Season two is revealed
To keep us waiting, HBO and Max (the Warner platform that will arrive in France in June) have still revealed first images. Not through a teaser, but with two photos. We find first Pedro Pascal, who still plays Joel, then Bella Ramsey who takes up the role of Ellie. Of course, for audiences who are only familiar with the series, these images may seem quite standard. But the players of The Last of Us II should think about passages from the video game.
Joel’s image may have come from a confrontation between the hero and Ellie after a night out in Jackson. On the other hand, Ellie’s doesn’t remind us much. But we will notice her equipment, a rifle, clearly highlighted. Please feel free to tell us if this photo inspires something else in you. Otherwise, while waiting for the first trailer to be published online, it is still possible to do so (re)watch the first season of The last of us on PrimeVideo. Here you will also find our opinion on the series.
