Today marks the debut of the first full trailer for the second season of The Last of Us, the grim but compelling post-apocalyptic drama on HBO that’s based on the popular video game of the same name.
The trailer revisits the first season’s two protagonists—Joel and Ellie—five years after Joel’s fateful choice. Here’s the simple, straightforward logline HBO provided:
After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
In addition to returning characters, we get some glimpses of some new characters and the actors who will play them. Jeffrey Wright (Westworld, American Fiction) will reprise his role as Isaac from the game, while Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart, Justified) will play Abby, a key character in the sequel.
