LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The filming for 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2 has been completed, sparking excitement among fans eager to follow Joel and Ellie's adventure.

'The Last of Us' made a big impact when it first aired on HBO. With Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, the series became a standout in the post-apocalyptic genre, filling the gap left by 'The Walking Dead'.

Both critics and fans loved how closely the show stuck to the source material, even recreating scenes from the game. This faithfulness drew in viewers who hadn't played the game before.

However, a recent post shared on X on Sunday, April 14, revealed that filming for Episode 2 has just concluded, following the completion of Episode 1 on April 7.

A new update from the Directors Guild of Canada also indicates that Episode 3 of 'The Last of Us' Season 2 is already in production. Mark Mylod and Kate Herron are directing these episodes, while Craig Mazin directed Episode 1.
