HBO is the king of making you wait years between seasons of a successful show while giving you less episodes for your trouble.
ikr! Seven fukking episodes?!? Atleast give us a dozen. It ain't like they a huge wardrobe and set piece budget to contend with; it's s a contemporary setting.

Should've cast Rhea Ripley or got this actress on the Zac Efron program :ufdup:

It was already ridiculous enough in the game the size differences between Ellie and Abby. Live action would have made it utterly unbelievable and distracting for the audience.

I've been saying since they announced season two they had to cast a normal sized woman as Abby. You can't have tiny Ellie fighting someone built like a middle linebacker.

trailer leaked, :whoo:

Museum flashback :blessed: probably my favorite part of the 2nd game.

Judging by the trailer it looks like THAT moment is going to be the season finale. Which makes sense.
It's what makes the most sense. But I still wonder how they pull it off.

Ditching the way the story is told in the game (and just do it chronologically with time jumps each episode) is the only way I can see it happening but I'm intrigued if they found another way to do it.

Looks fukking great

While I Love Part II, some certain story beats could of been written a lil tighter, I get this was harder for Part II as there are ALOT more moving parts in terms of scope and story in the second part as opposed to Part 1 which is 90% focused on Joel/Ellie, so I feel like there being certain scenes in this trailer that don’t look like they are from the game that happen Before a very big early moment, tells me they have fleshed out certain bits, especially with Mazin involved.

This makes me happy because it’s more content, especially as it’s confirmed that the second game is being split over 2 seasons, but also a lil salty that I wish I could have played this version too lol

Also a lil salty about the tv show story potentially overtaking the game story since Neil recently said there may not be a part 3, but they also said that about part 2 so :yeshrug:

There's nothing in that trailer that tells me their deviating from the game..

I think the story happens the exact same way
Yeah
This scene was in the trailer:

This happens well after Joel gets killed so it’ll probably be similar to the game where they kill him off early, i’m talking episode 1 or 2.:lupe:
My thing is if they’re that deep into the story in this season, how are they going to stretch this out for 2 more seasons. Will they have an season dedicated to telling the same story as Season 2 but from Abby’s perspective?:jbhmm:

I think so.

They talked about having 4 seasons in total so I imagine the third season will be from Abby's perspective with some new writing that includes Ellie a little more.. There's no way Bella Ramsey goes an entire season without showing up.

4th season will be the California portion stretched out.

I called this because I don't remember them announcing who's playing Lev.. And she doesn't show up until Abbys portion.
