The Last Of Us Season 2 Includes Backstory Scene That Fans Will “Eat Up”
Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann has teased that Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us will include one particular scene that provides “a lot of backstory” for a major character. Speaking to Variety, Druckmann–who co-directed the first two games and also works on the show–said he thinks fans will enjoy this sequence, in part because it will provide more context than what was possible to provide in the game series.
“There’s stuff in this season that I’m really excited about–stuff that we hinted at–one scene in particular comes to mind that I think fans of the game will eat up, because it really kind of tells you a lot of backstory of this important character that there wasn’t really a way for us to even do that in the game,” Druckmann said.
That’s all Druckmann had to say about this particular scene. The game series is filled with significant characters with mysterious pasts, so it’s anyone’s guess as to who Druckmann is referring to. The Last of Us Season 2 adapts at least some parts of the story of The Last of Us: Part II, so fans can expect a lot of drama. The show will introduce new characters in Season 2, including Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), Dina (Isabela Merced), and Jesse (Young Mazino), among others.
