At HBO they don’t want to waste time. After the resounding success of The Last of Us, its production already has its sights set on the second season. According to information from Deadline, those responsible for the series have already chosen the location of the filming. Although they remain in Canada, they will move all their resources to Vancouver.
The idea of the production is to have a great environment with urban spaces, but also surrounded by a wooded area. If you already had the opportunity to play The Last of Us Part 2you will surely remember that a good part of its events take place in Seattle.
Interestingly, although HBO has not chosen the largest city in the state of Washington, it has multiple similarities with Vancouver – even in distance they are close.
This should not surprise us too much. In the first season of The Last of Us, almost all of the filming took place in Calgary, also in Canada. Different parts of the region were completely transformed to emulate parts of Massachusetts, Wyoming, Texas and Missouri. Alberta, for example, stood in for Boston.
The Last of Us It is the premiere of the year and you can only see it on HBO Max

Recently, Bella Ramsey (Ellie) commented that the premiere could be made to wait until the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. Pedro Pascal (Joel), for his part, estimates to start recording his scenes in the last months of this year.
Now it is a fact that the second season of The Last of Us It will be more complex than the previous one. in many ways. In fact, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, showrunners of the series, have already confirmed that they will need more than one season to be able to adapt the second game. This is not just longer than Part 1but also more complex at the narrative level.
“It’s a great animal to take down, you know? It’s a much bigger and more complicated story. I think it’s a beautiful story. So Neil [Druckmann] and I are analyzing it, because it is more than one season, “said Mazin last February.
If for something he distinguished himself Part 2it was for develop two strikingly different characters in great depth. It will be interesting to see how the television adaptation divides its time so that both figures have the space they deserve.
Those fans of video games should be very attentive to the following seasons of The Last of Us. Because? Druckmann hinted that Part 3 will inherit different elements from the series. Its objective is that both productions, despite being aimed at different audiences, can complement each other.
