Surprise tease drop for The Last of Us Season 2 hours before premiere
HBO dropped a new teaser for The Last of Us Season 2 hours before its premiere at 9 PM ET/PT. The teaser opens with the first reviews for the show, featuring exceptionally positive reviews from various critics.
The Telegraph as well as the Radio Times graded the show with a perfect 5/5 in their early review, along with Empire, which also awarded the second season of The Last of Us with a perfect 5-star score ahead of its release.
Along with the perfect grades, The Last of Us was described using adjectives such as "Spectacular", "Thrilling", "Phenomenal," and "Exceptional." The exceptionally positive reviews for the show do nothing but make the audience eagerly anticipate the episode drop.
The final teaser featured a fight in the snow, just as the previous trailers have. We also see Ellie dancing with Dina, as seen in the original official trailer of the show. The video teases some epic fight scenes between the humans and the infected.
The beauty of the final teaser to The Last of Us Season 2 lies in the fact that some moments of love and innocence still manage to find Joel and Ellie in between all the chaos. In one such scene, we spot Joel smiling up at Ellie while she's climbed up on a tree. We can also see Ellie and Dina dancing in what looks like a ballroom.

The Last of Us Season 2, starring Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal as Ellie and Joel, is adapted from the video game The Last of Us Part II. The video game has some of the most brutal fight scenes as well as some really emotional developments for the characters. Only time will tell what the creators of the show have chosen to adopt from the game.
The first episode of The Last of Us will drop on HBO MAX and will be available to stream after its premiere at 9 PM ET/PT. Further episodes will be dropped on a weekly basis in the same schedule.
