The Last of Us season two premiere: 'Future Days' highlights the fracture between Ellie and Joel


The first episode of The Last of Us season two shows a distant Joel and Ellie right from the jump as well as multiple new threats on the way.

It was brought to life in remarkable fashion by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in season one; the pair’s chemistry was the show’s undeniable high point. But the loss of their connection and the lack of interactions between the two put a subdued mood over everything, something that episode writer / director and showrunner Craig Mazin certainly intended and will exploit throughout the season. Mazin and co-showrunner Neil Druckmann have already discussed how they wanted to introduce Abby and get into her motivations quicker in the show than in the game, largely because players build a relationship with her through gameplay.
