HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us’ Season 2 Is Moving To A New Location
The Last of Us season 2 is packing up and moving somewhere else. It’s not jumping networks, of course, as one of HBO’s new crown jewels, but it’s moving filming locations.
Season 1 was shot in Alberta, Canada, which stood in for various locations in the US, and resulted in some city-based changes based on what they had to work with. But now Season 2 is leaving the province and heading to Vancouver, British Columbia instead.
If you’re played the second game you know why this is (no real spoilers follow), because a large chunk of that game takes place in a city just south of Vancouver, Seattle. So the idea is clearly that they will try to make one Pacific Northwest City double for another. As for why they’re still filming and Canada and not Seattle itself, well, thank Canadian tax breaks, certainly, which is why so much stuff is shot up there.
This move in location reinforced the already-stated idea that season 2 of The Last of Us is jumping straight into Part 2 of the game. I do wonder if some parts of the show will be filmed at the faux-Wyoming Jackson location they already set up, but that’s only needed really for a few scenes early on. - Forbes
EXCLUSIVE: The Last of Us has zeroed in on its home base for season 2.
The HBO drama will set up shop in Vancouver for the continuing saga of Joel (Pedro Pascal), who’s been tasked with protecting a 14-year-old named Ellie (Bella Ramsey) who may be civilization’s last hope after a global pandemic.
Fans of the 2013 video game that inspired The Last of Us know that a significant part of the story in Part II takes place in the Pacific Northwest.
HBO has yet to share details about the upcoming storyline or when production will begin. - Deadline

Sources suggest that season two of The Last of Us will be filmed in Vancouver.
A second season of the hit HBO series, based on the critical and commercial blockbuster PlayStation video game, was announced a few episodes into the first season’s airing.
Rumours swirled about Vancouver being the primary filming location for the second season, which follows the events of The Last of Us Part II, the sequel to the first game. A large portion of the events of that game takes place in Seattle, Washington, which Vancouver has turned into for other TV shows and films.
A source with knowledge of the production not authorized to speak on it shared the info with Daily Hive. Deadline also reported the news. - Dailyhive
