The Last of Us season 1 recap
The Last of Us took its audiences on a rollercoaster of a journey in their first season as the show embarked on a cross-country journey through a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by Cordyceps.
Joel and Ellie's journey, one filled with excruciating obstacles and allies unworthy of trust, leads them to many encounters. Joel's decision to save Ellie from the Fireflies in the season finale left the audience in complete shock.
It later leads Joel to lie about the events to prevent him from losing Ellie. As Ellie learns the truth, her actions will be a key highlight of the highly anticipated season 2.
While the audience awaits April 13 to stream the new season, one thing is certain— the world of The Last of Us is about to become even more terrifying and unforgettable. The Last of Us season 2 has set up expectations of intense action, powerful storytelling, and devastating character arcs that stay true to the original material.
