The therapy device is an interesting way to frame season 2, as it immediately shows Joel confronting one of the most pressing elements going into the next season.

Our Take On The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer
The Trailer Features Several Enticing Elements
The element that excites me most about theseason 2 trailer is the presence of music. The trailer is set to the tune of Pearl Jam’s “Future Days” but features many shots of Joel and Ellie playing guitar. Music was pivotal in the acclaimedThe Last of Usepisode “A Long, Long Time,” so its prevalence could be a great decision. The new footage forThe Last of Usseason 2 also previews new characterslike Dina and Abby, which leaves plenty of mystery going into the second season.
