Max just released the first teaser trailer for the season, which will be based on the video game The Last of Us Part II. Its official logline reads, "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.”

The trailer shows Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning as Joel and Ellie respectively, following the cataclysmic events of the end of the first season. Both can be seen playing the guitar at moments, which should poke you directly in the soul if you've played the game.

We also have the return of the infected, lest the depravity of man distract you from the fact that this is a fungus zombie show.

I will say two words that have stuck with me from the game: hospital basement.

Catherine O’Hara features heavily in the trailer as a therapist-type, urging Joel to "say the thing you're afraid to say. Say it out loud, no matter what it is, no matter how bad. What did you do?" Her guest role is currently unconfirmed.
