"If Sunday night felt weird without a new episode of Neil Druckmann & Craig Mazin's Pedro Pascal (Joel) & Bella Ramsey (Ellie)-starring The Last of Us, you're definitely not alone. So much so that Druckmann shared a tweet on Sunday addressing that very topic while also dropping an impressive visual teaser for the second season (more on that in a minute). But how many Sundays should fans be expecting to be TLOU-free? Checking in with The Jonathan Ross Show over this past weekend, the topic turned to the second season as Ramsey shared a rough, unofficial production timeline. "It will be a while. I think we'll probably shoot at the end of this year, beginning of next, Ramsey revealed. "So it'll probably be the end of 2024, early 2025."

Here's a look at a clip from Ramsey's appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, where she discusses the closeness that she and her co-star share while also offering some additional intel on Cordyceps:

Speaking of Season 2, here's a look back at Druckmann's Instagram post from Sunday, offering both a sobering reminder about there not being an episode of TLOU on as well as an ominous foreshadowing of what's to come with the second season:

Bella Ramsey Talks The Last of Us Season 2

Speaking with British GQ, Ramsey (who recently came out as gender fluid, using both she/her and they/them pronouns) touched briefly upon her visit to the Season 2 writers' room before sharing how much she's looking forward to filming Ellie's time with Dina and how any pushback from what's to come "isn't gonna make me afraid."

"It was so cool to hear them talk about ideas — I've watched quite a lot of the gameplay of the second game just because I've been curious. I think [the show] will most likely follow the storyline of the games again. I don't think there's much need to fill in the gaps," Ramsey shared regarding the work already underway on the next season when she stopped by the writers' room. "There are a few bits with Ellie on her own, probably, but I like the fact that she also has [Dina] now." And now that the episodes are actually seeing the light of day, Ramsey is "excited" for a chance to return to the show's universe again. "I mean, season one really was the best year of my life," she shared. "As the episodes come out, [they] bring back such good memories. I am nervous, of course. [But] I'm so excited to get the chance to do that again."

As for the haters already sharpening up their social media knives, Ramsey has a message – you're not going to scare her off. "I'm not particularly anxious about it. I know people will think what they want to think. But they're gonna have to get used to it. If you don't want to watch the show because it has gay storylines, because it has a trans character, that's on you, and you're missing out," Ramsey responded on the matter. "It isn't gonna make me afraid. I think that comes from a place of defiance."

Season 1 was pretty good besides episode 3, but I'm staying away from here on out

This show was a letdown......

this bi*ch is infuriatingly ugly god damn

She's not being recasted which is a letdown but Abby needs to be casted right. How many broclic good acting bi*ches are out there? Her casting is critical

The gameplay is what made the sequel so with a sh*tty story, season 2 bout to be a clunker

Pretty Tone said She's not being recasted which is a letdown but Abby needs to be casted right. How many broclic good acting bi*ches are out there? Her casting is critical

I mean she did her thing

I swear it doesn't feel like shows used to take this long between seasons. People interest will go cold when it takes that damn long.

Well things take this long when production cost are this high. Remember Rome on HBO sky high production cost, games of thrones same thing

I still haven't played the 2nd game... was waiting for it to show up on playstations subscription service.

I’ve got a feeling the ending of season 2 will not go well. I just don’t see how the new protagonist will become likeable enough to do what they do.

The Last of US was a failure that should have been a Slam mutha fukin DUNK!!

It's not about zombies but more about mutations. Since their so many transformations due to the fungal virus

For some dumb af reason, they chose to Immulate a failed and unsuccessful formula of trash character arcs and leaving out the suspense factor

There are only 3 episodes where the Clickers are a substantial threat to the parties in those episodes. Everything else is is retconed confusion.

The showrunners chose filler over substance. Not following the video game story makes even less sense now. The excuses about not having enough episodes to tell the story, not being able to fit it all in, was lazy defensive excuses.

I keep telling people it's the fact these weird inexperienced people keep lying about not being able to create legitimate portrayals of successful title

It was a video game that was too.advanced with its writing, that they couldn't even make a show.out of it. Do they not have respect for the Franchise or just the 1st celebrated Transformer video game character??

Never on par with House of Dragons. What's crazy is, they want to half a*s the delivery but want just as much credit as hard working cast and crews of shows like HoD.

Bigger budget was siphoned to Part 2 game

fu*k Abby.

Show is kind of boring

Ronda rousey would be perfect…if she could actually act that is but I’m sure they’ll fu*k it up.

Im sorry but i feel the same way....her grill piece is funny looking bruh

nwking said Well things take this long when production cost are this high. Remember Rome on HBO sky high production cost, games of thrones same thing

Even game of thrones was yearly until the last season, and they had more locations with grander sets, and a larger cast

Thats cool I still haven't played last of us 2

Season 1 was cool

Last of Us 2 is set 5 years later, so at least she will look older. The castign for Abby has to be perfect though.

I need Abby in my life
