The second season of The Last Of Us premiered earlier this week and is set five years after the events of the first, which saw Joel (Pedro Pascal) leading Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic America. A group of survivors known as The Fireflies believed Ellie’s blood could cure the infection that was still ravaging the world but Joel couldn’t let her sacrifice herself, so murdered a number of doctors in the brutal season finale, before lying to Ellie about what had happened.
