The second season of HBO’s The Last of Us is already underway in Vancouver. The question fans have been asking is how much of the second game will make it into the adaption. To date, the production has been pretty good at keeping a lid on things.
Finally, a local filmscooper Canadagraphs published some images on Twitter showing Bella Ramsey’s Ellie and her girlfriend Dina (Isabela Merced).
New joiners for the second season include Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Young Mazino as Jesse, Danny Ramirez as Manny, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, and Spencer Lord as Owen. The series will be on HBO early next year. Fans of the game have already started putting together comparisons of in-game locations with the set pics, as you can see via Twitter:
