‘The Final of Us’ Season 2, episode 1 provides a brand new character who wasn’t within the sport
SHARE

The Final of Us Season 1 expanded the world of Naughty Canine’s beloved sport, and the second season isn’t any totally different.

With the return of the HBO sequence, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann ship you proper again to the settlement of Jackson, Wyoming, the place we left Ellie (Bella Ramsay) and Joel (Pedro Pascal) on the sting of city after every thing that occurred in Salt Lake Metropolis.

In Season 2, Ellie and Joel have been reunited with household since then, particularly Joel’s brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and his spouse Maria (Rutina Wesley), two of Jackson’s leaders. However with this pair comes a brand new character to The Final of Us, one who did not seem within the Half II sport: their son, Benjamin.

I will be referencing some mild sport spoilers on this article, so in case you’d reasonably the narrative stay a thriller, flip again now.

It is one of many first variations between the sport and the TV sequence in Season 2, the addition of Maria and Tommy’s younger son. The sequence’ time bounce covers 5 years we do not get to see between Seasons 1 and a couple of, throughout which period Benjamin has been born in Jackson.

Mashable High Tales

Within the sport, Tommy and Maria haven’t any kids. Including Benjamin to their lives within the present permits actors Luna and Wesley to discover their characters’ relationship with one another another way, illustrating how new life emerges and creates relative stability in a present the place such a factor is uncommon. In Season 1, Maria explains to Ellie through the haircut scene in episode 6 that her son Kevin died earlier than the Cordyceps outbreak, so Season 2 offers Wesley extra room discover Maria’s sophisticated relationship with motherhood.

Benjamin additionally supplies a serious new alternative for Joel’s character, whose expertise with fatherhood has been traumatic to say the least — first, dropping his daughter Sarah (Nico Parker) with the outbreak of the Cordyceps pandemic, and second, struggling to ascertain his bond with Ellie. The scene in Season 2, episode 1 the place Joel bonds along with his nephew over “shooting monsters” as Uncle Joel is outstandingly candy, and actually the primary time we have seen Joel present his playful paternal aspect for an age.

Nonetheless, I believe the principle influence Benjamin’s presence within the present has is that it’ll add emotional weight to Tommy’s life-changing choice to depart Jackson for causes we’ll depart unclear. It is a deeply traumatic departure for Maria, as Tommy’s companion, and it will be much more wrenching within the present now that Tommy is each a husband and a father. The stakes have modified for Tommy within the present, and his choice to depart Jackson takes on expanded significance.

Simply bear in mind, relations haven’t fared effectively in The Final of Us — always remember Season 1, episode 5, the sequence’ most heartbreaking episode of all.

The Final of Us Season 2 is now streaming on Max. New episodes air weekly on Sundays 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
