The HBO adaptation began its first season in Calgary, Alberta in the month of July 2021. We saw most of the events unfolding in areas around this territory in the first season of the series. As each episode progressed, the narrative expanded to other Canadian provinces as well.
Now, according to reports, the second season has found a home in Vancouver, yet another city in Canada. The popular city is known for being the backdrop for filming as the territory contains mountains and a very diverse cityscape.
As per reports, the narrative is not yet locked in for the second season. But, we can expect the geography of Vancouver to play a crucial role in understanding what the story may contain.
‘The Last of Us’ talks about the journey Joel embarks on in an apocalyptic world. He is tasked to transport Ellie, humanity’s last hope against the plague that has infected a large portion of humans across the globe. Their journey, budding relationship, and drama coupled up with some insane visuals build the narrative of the HBO hit series.

The performance of Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie was widely acclaimed by both fans and critics. From what we can garner, Bella Ramsey will likely reprise her role as the eccentric Ellie in the second season.
The sequel of the ‘Last of Us’ game is more oriented around Ellie, as she is the main protagonist. There are many unique aspects as well associated with her. Especially as she is the first lesbian protagonist in a gaming franchise. Though not confirmed, the HBO adaptation would likely bring all these aspects into play in the second season.
