The Last of Us was a massive hit on HBO, and with its success, the network was quick to renew the series for a second season early into the first season. However, if you’re eager to get into the next season, you’ll be left waiting a good while. We already know that the second season is not set to air until next year after the Hollywood strikes caused production delays across the board. But today, we learned that the second season has already begun filming.
Thanks to Deadline, we’re finding out The Last of Us season two had already filmed at least a few scenes. This comes from a quick interview with Isabela Merced. For those unaware, Isabela is a newcomer to the series as she was cast to play Dina from The Last of Us Part II. During the premiere of Marvel’s Madame Web, Isabela spoke with some press members about the topic of The Last of Us.
Isabela had nothing but nice things to say regarding the cast, director, and storyline. However, Isabela also noted that the second season had already started filming, which featured a few scenes with Dina. We don’t know what was filmed, but apparently, another actor was recently cast for an unnamed character.
The actress went on to say that a friend and a future superstar were just cast in the show, but they couldn’t say anything else. We expect several new faces to emerge from this season if we go off from the new characters introduced from The Last of Us Part II. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait and see who makes it in this season, as it’s already been stated that this season won’t be able to tell the entire storyline from The Last of Us Part II.
The Last of Us Part II is far too massive for a single season, so we should see at least a third season come out for the show just as long as HBO renews the series. In recent news regarding the upcoming season, a picture showcasing one location built for the production is circulating online. This image at least gives some fans a look at at least one area that will be featured in the show. Meanwhile, those of you interested in video games will be delighted to know a third installment is likely coming after Naughty Dog has realized a concept for another chapter.
