I think I’ve figured out when The Last of Us season 2 will end — and it’ll be the perfect stopping point for the TV series’ ambitious adaptation of Part II. Since HBO’s The Last of Us is confirmed to be splitting up the story of the second game into more than one season, there’s been a lot of discussion about when the TV show will take a break. There are a few options; if it follows Ellie and Abby’s adventures in Seattle simultaneously, it could break when they unwittingly cross paths at the hospital.
Now that The Last of Us season 2 has released a full trailer, the shape the adaptation is taking is becoming a little clearer. With a couple of tweaks aside, the TV show seems to be sticking as faithfully to the second game as it did to the first game in season 1. As an avid player of the games who’s sunk over 500 hours into this franchise, I’m delighted that the TV adaptation seems to be staying game-accurate as it dives into Part II. And one key shot from the trailer seems to suggest where season 2 will end.
