Fans of the hit HBO series “The Last Of Us” are in for a treat as Season 2 is now officially in active development. The engrossing tale of the post-apocalypse, centered on the relationship between Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey), is set to return for another heart-wrenching journey.
Production Begins in Southern Alberta
Filming will take place in Fort Mcleod, High River, and Calgary. The talented team behind the show includes Carolyn Strauss, Evan Wells, and Asad Qizilbash as producers, with Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann again serving as both writers and producers.
Season 2 brings back many of the creative forces behind Season 1, ensuring that fans can expect more of the same high-quality storytelling that made the first season a hit. The reunion of the writers, directors, and producers promises to bring even more depth and emotion to the already-engrossing tale of Joel and Ellie’s journey.
The directorial team consists of Kantemir Balagov, Jasmila Žbanić, and Ali Abbasi, with Rose Lam as Line Producer and Kosta Orfanidis and Heather Roscorla as Production Managers. The director of photography is Kseniya Sereda, with Paul Domick as Assistant Director.

- DO make sure it’s in focus and you are looking directly at the camera, no black and white photos.
