HBO has released a 24-second teaser for The Last of Us season 2, which will continue to tell the story of Ellie and Joel, along with adding some new characters to the post-apocalyptic struggle.
The trailer includes a lot of frantic action and many shots of familiar faces as well as new ones. The one that had fans most excited was a very brief clip showing Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby, a character who was introduced in The Last of Us Part 2.
The shot, which is at 0:18 seconds in and lasts for less than a second, shows Abby in the snow, under a fence that has been weighed down by a horde of infected who are chasing her.
Fans of The Last of Us video games will recognize this particular scene because it leads to the events that are the catalyst for the whole game. We won’t spoil it here but you can read our plot rundown of The Last of Us Part 2 if you simply can’t wait for the show.
Even though there is no current release date announced for the second season of the popular video game adaptation, this short teaser has people hyped.
“Body is fully ready. Let’s go!” said one user on X in response to the trailer. One user reposted the trailer with a meme from The Office in which Michael Scott says “No question about it. I am ready to get hurt again.”
One post on X was by Michael Barclay, a Lead Designer at Naughty Dog, the studio behind the hit games. “Season 1 was wild to see TLOU come to life, but Season 2 is gonna hit differently for me.”

Pete Ellis, a former game designer at the studio also posted his excitement, saying “Ah this gave me goosebumps watching it! I can’t wait to see how they turn the game of #TheLastofUsPartII into TV; I’m eager to see if any parts of the game I worked on get used in an episode – that would be unreal!”
