HBO has shared exciting first looks at several major series coming in 2025, including The Last of Us Season 2, White Lotus Season 3, and the Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The new footage for The Last of Us Season 2 highlights the next stage of Joel’s and Ellie’s story, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning to their roles.
This preview reveals elements of their continued journey and introduces both new and familiar faces. It teases the challenges they will face and sets the stage for the upcoming season’s dramatic developments.
The brief 25-second preview showcases Ellie’s tattoo cover-up, her love interest Dina, and the Seraphites, also known as Scars. It also features Jeffrey Wright reprising his role as Isaac, the leader of the Washington Liberation Front, and includes a brief interaction between Catherine O’Hara and Pascal’s Joel, hinting at new plot developments and character dynamics.
Earlier in May, HBO released first-look images of Joel and Ellie, and fans have been eagerly tracking additional images of Ramsey and Merced from the Vancouver set. Season 2 is expected to adopt elements from The Last of Us Part II, a game that provides a rich source of content for the show’s narrative expansion.
The new season will feature just seven episodes, and HBO’s slow rollout of promotional content indicates that fans will need to be patient before they can fully immerse themselves in the upcoming episodes. This careful teasing of material is maintaining high anticipation and excitement as viewers look forward to the next chapter of this celebrated series.
