In a presentation at Sony’s CES slot,Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann revealed a new teaserfor the upcoming Season 2 of HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us. Via that teaser, it’s been revealed that Season 2 will begin airing this April.

The one-minute-plus-long trailer gave fans the best look yetat Kaitlyn Dever’s upcoming portrayal of Abby. “It doesn’t matter if you have a code like me,” Abby can be heard saying. “There are just some things everyone agrees are just wrong.”
Sony’s Entertainment Pursuits Come Into Focus
Beyond the latest teaser for The Last of Us Season 2 and a premiere month, Sony also had several other marquee announcements up its sleeve.Chief among the announcements was the fact that Helldivers would be turned into a movie with help from Sony Pictures.
Elsewhere, Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima will be receiving a dedicated anime via Crunchyroll and Aniplex. Based on the imagery shown, it’ll hone in on the Legends mode and not the main story.
Finally, Horizon Zero Dawn will now be a feature-length movie from Columbia Pictures and PlayStation Productions.Previously, Horizon had its TV adaptation canceled, with the status of future projects seemingly in the air. That appears to be no longer the case.
In other words, it looks like Sony has its hands full, with a slate of upcoming adaptations to go along with its already in-the-works projects. And given the success experienced so far with its endeavors, no one could blame them for taking on more projects.
