The highly anticipated season finale of HBO’s The Last of Us is set to air on May 25, and the preview has left fans bracing themselves for a painful conclusion. The live-action adaptation of The Last of Us Part II has been divisive, but its portrayal of traumatic events continues to unsettle viewers.
A new 40-second preview has dropped, featuring Jesse’s (Young Mazino) voiceover about the war between the Washington Liberation Front and Seraphites. However, the scene soon shifts to Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Jesse running towards an unknown destination in a Seattle theater. Fans of the game are well aware that this scene is set to unfold in the finale.
The preview ends with Abby (played by actress Storm Reid) shooting Jesse in the face, killing him instantly. This brutal moment will likely leave viewers reeling, as it follows a pattern of graphic character deaths characteristic of the game.
While some fans have expressed disappointment with the show’s script and structural choices, others are anticipating a dramatic conclusion that stays true to the game’s events. The Last of Us season finale airs on Max at 9 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, May 25.
