Bella Ramsey warns fans about emotional Season 2 of The Last of Us

Bella Ramsey, star of HBO's The Last of Us, has cautioned fans that the show's second season will be an intense emotional experience, stating there's no way to truly prepare for what's to come. The actor, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, revealed that reading the season's scripts moved them to tears for the first time in their career. Ramsey also discussed the deep, supportive relationship they've formed with co-star Pedro Pascal, emphasizing the importance of their on- and off-screen bond. While some viewers may be eager to binge the season, Ramsey prefers the weekly episode release, believing it enhances the show's immersive experience and community discussion. The new season, which adapts the events of the video game's sequel, has already delivered emotional twists and critical acclaim. Ramsey further reflected on the challenges of portraying a more conflicted, older Ellie, including the rigorous physical training required for the role.
