A glimpse of the cinematic world of The Last of Us

Written and directed by Craig Mazin for HBO, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us series is equally popular on the big screen. In fact, this series scored almost a fortune in the box office. Starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, it was critically acclaimed for keeping the video game’s theme intact. Following the massive success of the first season, fans were excited for a second season. However, the strike of The Writers Guild of the United States halted the production work for quite some time.

Taking inspiration from The Last of US II, this second season is almost ready to embark on the big screen. In fact, video game’s Abigail Anderson aka Abby will likely play an essential character. She will be connecting with Ellie through the circles of violence in their lives. Following the rumors of Florence Pugh’s casting as Abby, fans cannot keep calm but wait for the second season’s release. Are you interested about The Last of Us’s second season?
