The Last Of Us (Series 2): Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Second series of the videogame adaptation starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey
Year: 2025
Certificate: 18
This second series has a lot to live up to after the acclaim showered on the first run. After crossing half of the fungal zombie-filled interior of the US in series one, series two picks up five years later with former smuggler Joel (Pedro Pascal) and rebellious teenager Ellie (Bella Ramsey) - secretly the only living human immune to the zombie plague - living relatively quiet lives in a walled town high up in the mountains.
The townsfolk think the cold will keep them safe from the zombies, but they're just about to find out quite how wrong they are. Explosions and action litter the series alongside moments of almost tension, but it's the characters that make this special. Pascal and Ramsey are again amazing, but Jeffrey Wright, Kaitlyn Dever, Catherine O'Hara and Joe Pantoliano all get time to shine as brand new characters. The first episode isn't quite up the high watermark set by series one - you can feel the story gears grinding a bit too loudly - but it's great to be back inside this world once again, and the second episode features a battle worthy of Game Of Thrones at its best. It does also feature one really horrible death scene, so beware of that going in. (Seven episodes)
