HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 will feature previously cut content from the video game The Last of Us Part II, according to showrunner and Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann. Druckmann revealed to Entertainment Weekly that the show will revive "pretty brutal" scenes, including elements from the game's "Lost Levels," partially restored in the PlayStation 5 remaster. These levels, such as "Jackson Party," "The Hunt," and "Seattle Sewers," offer a range of tones, from the relatively calmer party and boar hunt sequences to the intense horror of Ellie's encounter with monsters in the Seattle tunnels.

This restored content promises intense viewing. Druckmann described it as "pretty brutal" but expressed excitement for the audience reaction. He also hinted at the appearance of a previously unshown, yet significant character, mirroring the Season 1 introduction of Frank.
Season 2 introduces numerous new characters, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. However, Catherine O'Hara's role remains a mystery.
The first episode premieres in April, but the adaptation of Part II will likely span multiple seasons. Unlike Season 1's complete coverage of the first game, showrunner Craig Mazin has stated that Part II's extensive narrative necessitates a longer adaptation. While Season 3 isn't confirmed, Season 2 concludes with a "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes.
