However, The Last of Us season 2 also features some brand-new faces. From Kaitlyn Dever's Abby to Isabela Merced's Dina, the show introduces new characters who will not only be integral to the story but will also play a key role in shaping Ellie's character arc. The current season is poised to have seven episodes in total.

In The Last of Us: Part II (the game on which the show is based), Ellie is a songwriter who is passionate about music. The show follows suit and features some licensed music as well, which gives insight into her character.
