‘The Last of Us’ Director Kate Herron on Capturing Ellie & Dina’s Season 2 Love Story

The Last of Us Season 2 may ultimately be best remembered for killing off Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal), but it will also be known as the season where Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Merced) fell in love, thanks in part to director Kate Herron.

Helming the pivotal fourth installment, “Day One,” Herron brought to life Ellie and Dina’s arrival in Seattle as they sought revenge for Joel’s murder against Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and the WLF, a rebel group they don’t realize is wrapped up in an all-out war with another extremist group known as the Seraphites.
