We might have to wait a while to see it, but tonight HBO gave us our first good look at The Last of Us‘ return in action, and it looks like we’re in for a world of hurt.
Released as part of an extended tease of what’s coming in the next year during House of the Dragon‘s season finale tonight (stay tuned for our recap tomorrow!) the new footage is short, but offers some interesting hints at what the sophomore season will adapt from the award-winning Naughty Dog sequel.

The footage offers not just new glimpses of what Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s Joel and Ellie are up to (having a bad time, for the most part), but glimpses at new and returning major characters, including Joel’s brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna), what appears to be our first glimpses at Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), Dina (Isabela Merced), and Jeffrey Wright reprising his role as Isaac from the game. We also get our first glimpse at Catharine O’Hara’s mysterious new figure, who asks Joel an intriguing question, seemingly about Ellie: “Did you hurt her?”
Check out the full HBO/Max tease below, which also includes new footage from The Penguin, Dune: Prophecy, It: Welcome to Derry, and our first actual look at the next Game of Thrones spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, in action.
The Last of Us season 2 is set to hit HBO and Max some time in 2025.
