See all HBO companion material
The wildly successful TV series The Last of Us , which has already been renewed for a second season , continues, with the fourth episode debuting a few hours ago. In it we saw Joel and Ellie’s journey continue and specifically the duo arrived in Kansas City. Somehow we also met two new characters, Kathleen played by Melanie Lynskey and Perry by Jeffrey Pierce.
Kathleen is a brand new addition that was not in the game and she is the leader of the group of brutal hunters who set traps to steal the belongings of the survivors who travel to the city.
So, as usual, HBO, after the premiere of the episode, gave the spotlight plenty of accompanying material. In particular, in case you want to know more about what happened in the latest episode, the creators’ reasoning for the changes in relation to the game and every other aspect of it, below you will find the short video ‘Inside the Episode – 4’, as well as the fourth in-depth The Last of Us podcast. Of course, a teaser for what will happen in episode five has also been released, which you can also find below.
