For the makers, season 2 would bring its own sets of challenges.
The Last of Us season 2 will bring a stronger version of Ellie?
The story itself holds most of the potential. But the works of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie have only helped widespread the label’s popularity. Considering the original source had a very successful sequel, it was only about time HBO offered a follow-up. The SAG-AFTRA strikes spoiled the party, as it led to constant delays in production. Now, going by the claims of the Emmy-nominated actor, the upcoming story would bring some innovations to the game’s narrative.

“I’m excited for the really intense stuff, because I did a bit of that in Season 1 obviously, but to do that. And actually more physical scenes because Ellie is obviously more physically fit in Season 2. I love stunt stuff, and like waking up with bruises the next day, and finding myself with a black eye, just because it feels like so good to have done it”, the actor talking about Ellie’s arc stated.
The expectations with the follow-up are high. It would be really interesting to see if the developers can match up to the hype after some constant delays.
