“The Last of Us Season 2 Filming Locations Revealed”
The Last of Us Season 2 is now available on HBO Max, and fans are ecstatic to see Ellie and Joel return to their screens. The new season brings in some fresh faces and even more dangerous infected. But, one element that remains consistent in the second season is its exquisite locations. Just like in the first season, the filming locations in Season 2 are breathtaking. If you’re curious about where The Last of Us Season 2 was filmed, here’s the lowdown on all the confirmed locations.
The original video game, The Last of Us Part 2, was primarily set in Seattle and Jackson, but Season 2 took a different route and was filmed in Canada entirely. The creators succeeded in replicating the visual appeal of Seattle and Jackson to stay true to the source material. In the first season, Alberta, Canada, stood in for Jackson, Wyoming. Therefore, Season 2 returned to Alberta to maintain consistency with Season 1.
Additionally, The Last of Us Season 2 ventured into British Columbia to recreate the landscape of Seattle. The season was shot in various locations, such as mountain tops and lush green forests in British Columbia. Here’s a breakdown of the filming locations in the second season:
– Vancouver: A significant part of The Last of Us Season 2 was captured in Vancouver’s Downtown area, posing as Seattle, Washington. The urban infrastructure and natural setting made it a seamless fit for the portrayal of Seattle. Notably, it was in Vancouver that the intense infected scene with Ellie and Dina took place.
– Nanaimo: Another location in British Columbia, Nanaimo, was used to replicate Capitol Hill. This area is where you’ll witness Ellie encountering multiple human enemies and their guard dogs.
While Season 1 was predominantly filmed around Alberta, Canada, representing Jackson, Wyoming, Season 2 expands its filming locations to match the visuals from TLOU Part 2 while revisiting Season 1 locations.
Alberta, Canada, including places like Calgary, Canmore, and Edmonton, will be featured in the upcoming season of TLOU. Iconic moments from the game, like Abby discovering her deceased father or Ellie confronting Joel outside the Fireflies HQ, were shot in Alberta. However, the central part of Season 2’s events was filmed in British Columbia.
In a nutshell, Season 2 doesn’t dwell too long on these locations as compared to Season 1. While Alberta played a vital role in the first part of the story, The Last of Us Season 2 revisits this location solely through flashbacks. So get ready to witness the captivating settings of TLOU Season 2 as the characters navigate these stunning filming locations.
