There will be seven episodes in the upcoming installment. Season 2 is based on Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann’s game, “The Last of Us Part II.” Set five years after the events of the first season, this season will follow Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they’re drawn into a conflict with both each other and a world that’s more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left.

New cast members include Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny and Jeffrey Wright as Isaac. Catherine O’Hara will also guest star in this new installment.
The series is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television as well as HBO. It’s executive produced by Carolyn Strauss, Jacqueline Lesko, Cecil O’Connor, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan and Evan Wells as well as Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, who also write the drama. Mazin is best known for creating the Emmy-winning HBO limited series “Chernobyl,” and Druckmann is known for his work on both “Last of Us” games as well as the best-selling “Uncharted” franchise. The series is produced by PlayStation Productions, Word Games, Mighty Mint and Naughty Dog
