When asked about the amount of violence and zombie action in Season 1 during a press conference last week, co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann said the next season will have “a lot more infected.” Of the differences between the game and series, Mazin added, “We will present things, but it will be different, just as this season was different. The second game is a tale of vengeance and explores that theme in multiple ways, which should once again make for exciting television. But a particular event that we will not spoil here causes the game to go down an even darker route and leads Ellie to question herself and her motives even more. The moral conundrum that is posed to Ellie and Joel at the end of the first game laid the foundation for the main protagonists’ splintered relationship, which gets explored throughout the second part of the game. Is the tone for Season 2 going to be darker? This was Ellie’s first romantic connection and it was a heartbreaking way to venture into her sexuality, but Part II includes some surprises on these themes, as well as even more heartbreaks. They encounter an infected and both got bitten, but Ellie found out she was immune and had to kill Riley when she turned. The episode follows their last day together as Riley convinces Ellie to sneak out of her QZ dorm and explore an abandoned mall.
Episode seven was modeled after the downloadable content from The Last Of Us titled “Left Behind” and gave viewers a look into her friendship with Riley, played by Storm Reid. One of the biggest storylines that got a moment to shine in the second half of the first season is Ellie’s love life. What are the themes and storylines that are explored in Part II? Given that the first season stuck to the storyline of the first game, it’s to be assumed that the second season will do the same. It starts five years after the end of the first game, and we see Joel and Ellie settled down in Jackson, Wyoming with Joel’s brother, Tommy, and the rest of its inhabitants.
The second game makes a significant leap forward in time.
