If Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin did not respect the story of the video game
The Last of us
in their adaptation, the series nevertheless remained very faithful to the story developed in 2013 on Playstation.
After a first season hailed by fans, the success of which boosted sales of the game, a second is already in preparation.
The story will follow the framework developed in
The Last of us Part II
, the second opus of the video game released in June 2020, allowing itself a few liberties.
“Sometimes there will be drastic changes, sometimes it will be almost the same.
This will be the season that Neil and I want to do and we are doing it with Bella
, ”announced Craig Mazin to our colleagues from
Parisian / Today in France
.
The latter underlines the presence of
Bella Ramsey
in the guise of
Ellie
because, in this sequel to
The Last of us
, the teenager will once again be at the center of the action, but five years later.
The 14-year-old orphan on her long journey from Bolton to Salt Lake City alongside
Joel
(Pedro Pascal) will grow up as part of the secure and self-sufficient community settled in Jackson, Wyoming.
Having become a 19-year-old teenager (the current age of the actress), Ellie forms a sentimental relationship with Dina and a solid friendship with Jesse.

Why did she do this?
