After an arduous journey across post-apocalyptic America and a fate-altering decision, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) return. Years later, life is good, but in this world, the good times never last!
Praised by fans and critics alike, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin’s adaptation of the hit video game saw Joel tasked with escorting Ellie across the wastes of the US in the hope that she might be humanity’s saviour from a deadly fungal virus. Battling zombie-like fungus-fueled creatures and humans with less than friendly intentions, the pair reached their destination, forming a surrogate father/daughter relationship along the way. Confronted with the reality that the potential of such a cure would result in Ellie’s death, Joel made the hard choice of rescuing her, at the bloody expense of possibly the entire human race.
Five years later, the pair are living a comfortable life in Jackson, Wyoming, but it’s not long before the consequences of Joel’s impulsive choice rear their head. To say more would be to spoil what is sure to be an epic and shocking second outing for the prestige drama.
Fans of the game will know to expect a gut-wrenching season, while those new to the story are in for a wild ride. Read on for how to watch the Last of Us season 2 online, on TV and from anywhere.
