It won’t be right away. I think we’ll be shooting probably at the end of this year, or the beginning of next. So it will probably be for the end of 2024, or the beginning of 2025.
These words contradict those of Pedro Pascal who had announced the start of filming for this spring, or at least in the coming months… In short, it would seem that even on the production side, nothing is really defined at this stage. In any case, Neil Druckmann (writer and director on the series, but creator of the video game) has already started teasing Season 2 with some pretty explicit fan art. We see Abby’s muscular arm with a hammer in her hand, obviously referring to a well-known sequence from the video game, revealed during Paris Games Week 2017. So, for those who fantasized about a rewrite of the events of The Last of Us Part 2 for the series, it’s obviously rapped. Because yes, it’s better that way and that’s why Abby’s character exists.
No TLoU on HBO tonight. But Season 2 is already on its way! Endure & survive! pic.twitter.com/87bKKCDBeO
