The young celebs having sex videoLast of UsSeason 2 trailer has dropped, and you know what that means, don't you? It's time to take all the burning questions we had at the end of Season 2 and add a few new ones in.
In the two-minute clip above we're reintroduced to Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) after a tumultuous ending to the first season, as they head back to the camp in Jackson, Wyoming where Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) is based.

Ellie hiding from something on all fours

A creature emitting spores

The one mercy of the fungus in Season 1 is that it isn't airborne. Could that be about to change?
Two new factions

The first is a military outfit that is definitely not FEDRA — these guys have a wolf logo and the letters "WLF" on their tanks and helmets. The second group has more of a cult vibe — hooded robes, old-style weapons, a logo that looks like an eye, the whole shebang.
The trailer makes it seem like both of these groups are threats, as they're shown in a montage just before we hear Ellie (Bella Ramsey) saying "monsters" (and given that we see the hooded group getting ready to murder someone in the woods, this definitely tracks).
Ellie walking away from Joel
Credit: YouTube/Max One of our burning questions after Season 1 was whether or not Ellie would find out that Joel basically butchered an entire hospital worth of Fireflies in order to save her life — remember, Ellie is immune to the Cordyceps infection, and could have been the key to a vaccine. The trailer seems to hint that the answer to this question is a big "yes", with a shot of her yelling "You swore" before another shot of Joel looking upset while she walks away from him in the background. The "you swore" line is a throwback to the finale of Season 1, where Ellie asks Joel to promise her that "everything you said to me about the Fireflies is true" — Joel told Ellie raiders attacked the hospital and he barely got her out of there alive. Looks like that lie will come back to haunt him.
The Last of UsSeason 2 is streaming on Max from April 13.
