Production has started on the second season of the HBO series The Last of Us. A first photo of the set has now been made public, showing a location that fans of the second video game should know only too well.
After the immensely successful start of the first season of The Last of Us on HBO – which can be seen in Germany on Sky or WOW – fans are eagerly waiting for Season 2. We still have to be patient for now, but at least filming has started in the meantime, so it now moving forward.
A first behind-the-scenes photo from the set has now appeared online – and it shows a location that should be all too familiar to players of The Last of Us: Part II. Breadfruitworrywitch posted a photo on Reddit via r/ThelastofusHBOseries that shows the Greenplace Market known from the video game.

Greenplace Market

Protagonist Ellie and Dina end up in the Greenplace Market quite early in the game as part of a patrol. There they meet a proverbial horde of infected people that you had to fight in order to survive. So it’s quite an action-packed sequence – and that should please those whose tastes the first season of the series adaptation showed a little too few fights against infected people.
Season 2 will be based on part of The Last of Us: Part II, but will not fully reflect the second video game. In addition, there are likely to be different processes and developments in the series compared to the video game. Fans should be happy that an iconic location is returning.
A number of new additions to the cast in season 2 had previously been announced. Co-protagonist Abby is played by Kaitlyn Dever, with Catherine O’Hara (Gail) and Isabela Merced (Dina) also taking on important roles. The second season is unlikely to start before 2025.
Meanwhile, there had recently been increasing signs that Naughty Dog was working on the sequel to The Last of Us as a video game and could tell “another chapter” with The Last of Us: Part III.
