If you've been waiting for more Dune, the six-episode spinoff series is coming soon. A new trailer for Dune: Prophecy dropped during the opening day of the New York Comic Con, giving us a glimpse of the prequel to the Denis Villeneuve films.
Dune: Prophecy will premiere on HBO at 9 PM on November 17. In Canada, it will stream on Crave. Each episode will come out on Sundays following the TV broadcast.
Fans of The Last of Us TV show can rejoice as HBO has officially confirmed that Season 2 will premiere in 2025. The announcement was made in the latest Max sizzle reel, which showcased the upcoming shows on the streaming service. Season 2 was originally slated for 2025, but the recent Hollywood strikes cast some doubt on the schedule. But with this sneak peek, it looks like it's still on track for 2025.
The second season will continue the story of Ellie and Joel, the survivors of a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a fungal infection. It will also introduce Abby, a new character who plays a pivotal role in The Last of Us: Part II, the video game sequel that the show is based on. Bella Ramsey, who portrays Ellie, admitted that she felt a “big fear” of not meeting the expectations of the fans after the acclaimed first season. It is scheduled to start shooting in Canada in early 2024.
The Last of Us TV show, which is a collaboration between HBO and Naughty Dog, the game developer, debuted in January 2023 and became an instant hit. It received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike and was quickly renewed for a second season. The show was created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, who are also the executive producers and writers.
Meanwhile, the future of The Last of Us game series is uncertain. Naughty Dog has reportedly shelved its multiplayer project and has not confirmed the development of The Last of Us: Part III.
According to a report by Variety, the second season of the hit show The Last of Us will enter production in early 2024. The show, which is based on a video game of the same name, follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across the U.S. to find a cure for a deadly fungal infection. Season 1 of the show was a huge success when it premiered on HBO in January 2023. It was renewed for a second season before the Season 1 finale even aired.
While the exact filming locations of Season 2 have yet to be confirmed, we do know that it will be shot in Vancouver. The city’s mayor Ken Sim confirmed the news on X (Twitter) in March 2023. Season 1 of The Last of Us was filmed in Alberta, including in Calgary, Edmonton, and Canmore.
The TV adaptation of the popular game series The Last of Us has been confirmed for a second season. Co-creator (and writer of the games) Neil Druckmann thanked the cast and crew behind the show alongside the viewers who've engaged with it so far. "I’m humbled, honoured, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey," he said in a statement.
Since the first season is still ongoing, we can expect a bit of a wait. But at least if you've gotten hooked so far, you can expect another season of the show. The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) as Ellie. Joel needs to escort Ellie across mid-America to a military resistance group called the Fireflies. She's seen as the last hope for humans as a fungal-based infection has ravaged the planet and turned humans into zombie-like creatures.
