Able to get chilly and bleak and unhappy? That is the vibe in The Final of Us Season 2 trailer, which jumps us forward a couple of years after Season 1 right into a future that does not look all that rosy.
Unhappy dad Joel and difficult teen Ellie have apparently grown aside whereas dwelling in Wyoming, nevertheless it’s not simply their relationship that is beneath pressure: the funky fungal an infection has reached full freakout. Here is the trailer:
Followers of the sport might be excited to see a stalker within the trailer: a quick and lethal number of contaminated that solely appeared a couple of instances within the authentic sport however extra closely within the sequel, and wasn’t a part of Season 1 of the present. Additionally making an look in Season 2: spores, which had been additionally lacking within the first season.
Within the sport, folks may change into contaminated by publicity to spores launched from lifeless our bodies, however that was modified for the present in favor of “a extra reasonable method,” co-creator Neal Druckmann informed Polygon in 2023. “If we wished to deal with it realistically, and there are spores close to, characters would put on fuel masks on a regular basis,” Druckmann stated. “Then we lose a lot, which is perhaps an important a part of the journey is what’s happening inside behind their eyes, of their soul, of their beings.”
Within the trailer for Season 2, although, we see a corpse spewing spores like smoke from its mouth. I assume the mushrooms have developed past bodily transmission like biting or these gross little tentacles.
It is not all unhealthy information, although: Joey Pants is right here
And naturally there’s the repercussions of the ending of Season 1, which I assume I should not spoil since chances are you’ll not have seen it, nevertheless it concerned Joel doing a little bit of pew-pew, bang-bang, kapow, blammo, after which not being totally sincere with Ellie about it. That lie, it could appear, comes undone in Season 2, therefore the road from the trailer: “Do not you recognize what he did?” Awkward.
It is not all unhealthy information, although: Joey Pants is right here! Prolific character actor Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix, The Sopranos, and a million Different Issues) is taking part in Eugene, a personality talked about within the sport however by no means seen. Hopefully, his character will get the identical form of remedy Invoice (Nick Offerman) did in Season 1: a minor character expanded right into a a lot bigger and extra significant position. The Final of Us Season 2 begins streaming April 13 on Max.
