A newly leaked video from HBO’s highly anticipated The Last of Us Season 2 provides fans with their first glimpse of Ellie and Dina in action. The footage, captured on a British Columbia, Canada set, features Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced portraying the beloved characters.
Behind-the-Scenes Look at Ellie and Dina
In the video shared by @TheLastofUsNews, Bella Ramsey’s Ellie is seen riding her horse, Shimmer, while Dina, played by Isabela Merced, holds on from behind. Dina, Ellie’s romantic interest in the second season, is integral to the storyline. The scene showcases Ellie securing a shotgun in her bag before dismounting and walking away, with Dina following shortly after.
New Hairstyles Signal a Time Jump
The set video reveals a noticeable change in Ellie’s appearance, with her hair partially pulled back, a departure from her loose ponytail in the first season. This new hairstyle indicates a time jump, aligning with the narrative of The Last of Us Part II, which is set five years after the events of the first game. Dina’s hairstyle also differs, with her long hair down instead of the bun she sports in the video game.
Fresh Images of Ellie and Joel Released
On May 15, HBO released new promotional images featuring Ellie and Joel, played by Pedro Pascal. In the images, Joel is seen sternly confronting someone, while Ellie holds a shotgun, ready for action. These visuals hint at the intense and gripping moments awaiting fans in the upcoming season.
The Story and Success of The Last of Us
HBO’s The Last of Us is an adaptation of the acclaimed video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog for Sony PlayStation. The series unfolds in a post-pandemic world devastated by a fungal infection that turns humans into zombie-like creatures. Joel, a seasoned smuggler, is tasked with escorting 14-year-old Ellie across the country.
