Actor Bella Ramsey has expressed her eagerness over the lesbian relationship storyline expected to take place in the second season of “The Last of Us.” The post-apocalyptic series, based on the popular video game, has thus far followed the same story as its source material. However, the upcoming season could draw from the game’s sequel and feature a storyline where Ramsey’s character, Ellie, is in a relationship with her companion, Dina.
Ramsey revealed her excitement for the storyline during an interview on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast. “I’m really excited, to be honest, for the Ellie/Dina story. I’ve watched a cut together, someone’s made a phenomenal – I don’t know how they do it – like an amazing edit of just the gameplay, like Ellie and Dina’s love story. So I’m excited to play that out,” the actor stated.
In addition to the lesbian relationship storyline, Ramsey also discussed the bond between Ellie and Joel, played by Pedro Pascal in the television series. The actress stated she is looking forward to exploring “the complexity of her relationship with Joel and how that gets decidedly more complex.” Despite the excitement, Ramsey acknowledged that it will be a “really sad” season, which is understandable considering the events of the first season.
