Summary
HBO’sThe Last of Usseason two makes its way to eagerly awaiting fans' screens this year, but before it does, the highly anticipated show has had time to make a pit-stop at Bangkok’s bustling metro train station to mark yet another incredible advertising campaign in the run-up to its returning season debut. The live-action series, based on Naughty Dog’s highly praised sequel,The Last of UsPart 2, will see Pedro Pascal make a comeback as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie in what will likely be its most explosive narrative yet.
However, fans of the second game might be somewhat disappointed that certain aspects might not see the light of day in season two. Recently, the series' co-creator,Craig Mazin, expressed that thenext season may take some creative liberties in its adaptationof the sequel’s story. Going off of HBO’sThe Last of Ustrailers so far, some changes have already been noticeable, likeCatherine O’Hara’s characterwho didn’t appear in the game, but she certainly has made an impact already regarding her conversation with Joel in what looked to be a therapy session.

Maybe its most daunting feature is the spray paint that states, “Feel Her Love”, which is in reference to the Seraphites leader the group dubbed as the Prophet, whose actions led to theWLF’s leader, Isaac Dixon, deeming her too dangerous to keep alive. As such, he arranged for her execution. This is certainly an eerie message and a sinister environment for those train travelers who might not be too familiar with the game, or even the series, and could be wondering what the heck is going on. Regardless, the marketing campaign should give them a chance to do a bit of internet searching and, in turn, steer them towards the amazing HBO show in time for its return.
In HBO’sThe Last of Us' most recent trailer, excited fans got to see a little bit more of what’s in store for season two. One scene, in particular, showcased a dance betweenEllie and Dina that included a hidden detail from the game’s sequel. The trailer also contains a first look at a bladed sickle weapon, which belongs toone of the SeraphitesfromThe Last of Us Part 2.If the most recent clips are anything to go by, viewers will need to buckle up for one hell of a violent and traumatic ride.
