Joel appears stone-faced as he stares at her, silent - but she continues, and her words narrate the remainder of the trailer as glimpses of what's to come flash on screen.

Viewers are shown a shot of Ellie walking into a fortified town along with a sweet glimpse of her playing the guitar with Joel.

'You can't heal something unless you're brave enough to say it out loud,' Catherine says as a flash of a blood-stained street sign appears.

Ellie is then shown playing the guitar as her new love interest Dina (Isabela Merced) sits down and watches.

'Say the thing you're afraid to say,' Catherine adds.

'Say it out loud, no matter what it is, no matter how bad,' she continues.

'What did you do?' she asks.

Throughout Catherine's words, viewers are shown flashes of all the drama set to occur in season two which includes a massive attack by the infected.

A synopsis for season two states, according to The Hollywood Reporter: 'After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie's collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.'

The Last of Us is based on the video game of the same name created by Neil Druckmann that debuted on PlayStation 3 in 2013.

The series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world 20 years after the end of modern civilization and follows survivor Joel, played by Pascal, who is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie out of the quarantine zone.

A virus has infected humanity and caused a zombie outbreak.

What was supposed to be a small job becomes a brutal journey as they must depend on each other for survival while they travel across the U.S.

The season two trailer was dropped on September 26, aka 'The Last Of Us Day'. That date is significant in the videogame - it's the day the virus outbreak began.

O'Hara's casting was confirmed back in February, with HBO revealing the star would be playing an as yet 'undisclosed role' in the series.

The official word came after the Best in Show actress made an appearance on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live and a fan asked her if the rumors that she'd be joining the show were true.

Viewers are also introduced to Ellie's love interest,Dina (Isabela Merced)

'How do you know these things?' O'Hara said, before confirming: 'It's in discussion – yeah.'

O'Hara cracked a joke, saying: 'Wait, what? Do you work on the show? And you're about to quit and you just want to give everything away?'

She also revealed a family connection to the show. 'My son's a set dresser on the show,' she shared with Cohen.

O'Hara is best known for her roles in Christopher Guest's films, the Home Alone franchise, Beetlejuice and as Moira Rose on Schitt's Creek.

Season two of The Last Us will premiere on Max next year.
