The premiere of Season 2 of HBO's The Last of Us attracted a record 8.2 million viewers. Showrunner Craig Mazin aims to make this season bigger while preserving intimate moments, like Ellie's first kiss with Dina. Creator Neil Druckmann elaborated on Ellie's complex feelings for Dina amidst her teenage awkwardness, showcasing the evolution of their relationship. The season also tackles love triangles and the challenges of adolescent romance, particularly through Ellie’s lens as she navigates her emotions and friendships following the five-year time jump since Season 1.
"Dina became this interesting person that Ellie becomes infatuated with, and we see that throughout this episode that it's not only her friend, and someone she respects and admires, it's someone that she likes."
"There are things from the game that I know I want to just layer on one on one [into the show], because I love them, and because I also think they will translate perfectly one on one."
"Ellie thinks that Dina is straight, and in a relationship with Jesse. She's so afraid of the feelings that she has for Dina and ruining a friendship that means a lot to her."
