The Last of Us season two premiere had story elements fans expected—tension, trauma, a time jump, infected-adjacent horrors, etc.—but it also featured the surprising sight of Joel (Pedro Pascal) getting some much-needed counseling from Gail, a therapist played by Catherine O’Hara. According to a new interview in Variety, co-showrunner Craig Mazin originally wanted to explore that idea in season one of the hit HBO series, but ultimately there wasn’t enough room to fit it in. When season two was

Over two years have passed since Joel, Ellie, and the infected world of The Last of Us graced our television sets, and while the wait was long, clearly it was worth it. The season two premiere is here and it drops us right back into the world, introducing new characters, updating old ones, and reminding us just how special this show can be. That started in the opening scene, featuring a slew of brand new characters discussing a common goal: to kill the show’s main character. The scene takes pla

New episodes of season 2 of The Last of Us are premiering on HBO every Sunday night, and Ars' Kyle Orland (who's played the games) and Andrew Cunningham (who hasn't) will be talking about them here every Monday morning. While these recaps don't delve into every single plot point of the episode, there are obviously heavy spoilers contained within, so go watch the episode first if you want to go in fresh.

Spoilers follow for The Last of Us season two, episode one The heart of all things The Last of Us, whether it’s the games or the first season of the HBO adaptation, is the relationship between Joel and Ellie. It was brought to life in remarkable fashion by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in season one; the pair’s chemistry was the show’s undeniable high point. So it’s a bit of a shock that they only share a few minutes of screen time together in the season two premiere “Future Days” — and that th

The highly anticipated and long-awaited second season of The Last of Us debuts this weekend, so it’s time to get ready. Hopefully, in the two years since we last saw Joel and Ellie, you gave the first season a recent binge to get ready for the new episodes. But if not, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Season one of The Last of Us was FILLED with characters and information, but the nature of the show is that not a ton of that will carry over into season two. People move on, the journey contin

HBO’s The Last of Us took a riveting action game bolstered by intimate human moments and made a richly human drama supported by terrifying action. In returning for season two, and now using the sequel game as source material, showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann had quite a bit more work cut out for them. The first season greatly expanded the emotional depth and breadth of Joel and Ellie’s cross-country journey while also fleshing out the stories of many others they meet along the way, and

The second season of The Last of Us is going to make people mad, sad, and uncomfortable. It’s exciting, bold, tense, and in some moments, damn near transcendent. It’s not scared to take big swings and somehow remains hugely entertaining while doing so. Based on the hit PlayStation game by Naughty Dog, The Last of Us returns April 13 with the first entry in the seven-episode second season. We’ve seen all seven already, and while this review will not spoil anything, we will say this: get ready. S

The first season of HBO’s The Last of Us wasn’t just one of the most impressive video game adaptations to date, it was also one of the most faithful. The show did a remarkable job of replicating the characters, locations, and moments of the game, to the point that it felt like it was just skipping straight to the cutscenes at times. Still, season 1 displayed flashes of its own storytelling, with episodes like “Long Long Time,” which expanded the post-apocalyptic world’s scope beyond the main sto

The second season for HBO’s The Last of Us draws ever closer, and a new trailer played at this weekend’s SXSW.
