The HBO adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us has been receiving tremendous responses from the audience. The narrative which etches the story of Ellie and Joel has impacted many and the growth in viewership is proof of that. Currently, the first season is marching forward with twists and turns. It has already introduced many characters from the game into the series. In the recent Episode 6, fans got to witness Tommy, Joel’s brother. This was a heartwarming scene for the audience.

Now, Gabriel Luna, who plays Tommy, shared his thoughts about season 2 of the series. Which have been officially announced by the makers.

The narrative of the story is pretty complex. It is filled with damaged relationships, gory details, and synergy between the characters. Even the game had such a structure. These elements are the soul of the series along with the extraordinary performance from the artists. The second season, which is expected later, will also likely follow the pattern. Interestingly, Gabriel Luna, who is an avid fan of the games already is in preparation for the second season.

Though the current season still has a few episodes left, Luna is keen on the next one. “I’ve pitched a few ideas to Craig and Neil about what we could explore, considering we can bubble out to certain pockets of the story that we don’t get to experience in the game,” stated Luna.

We already witnessed many changes in the series as compared to the game. So, Luna’s ideas may even be featured in the second season. He especially wants to explore the journey of Tommy after his estrangement from his brother. According to the actor, this would be an incredible turn.

According to Luna, the show can explore his relationship with the Fireflies’ leader Marlene, who supposedly had a connection with the character. Other avenues the actor thinks would work well with the narrative are the ruthless time the siblings faced in Boston. Which in his mind works as the tool which makes Tommy take a step back. All these ideas are pretty great and would be amazing if they made it into the second season.
