Season 2 of HBO’s smash hit series The Last of Us filmed a scene this weekend adapted from the video game of Bella Ramsey’s Ellie and Isabela Merced’s Dina riding a horse through post-apocalyptic Seattle.
The duo stop at the Weston’s Pharmacy set below an overgrown Oceanic Plaza.

Bella Ramsay and Isabel Merced prepping on horseback for their filming of Last of Us Season2 – in downtown Vancouver on Sat. May 11 – then their stand-ins, in costume, block out the shot. Was a highly locked-down set – but we public got to see a little bit. @yvrshootstweets pic.twitter.com/IXviVCkI2N

Weston’s Pharmacy in Last of Us: Part II game.
What is The Last of Us?
The Last of Us takes place 20 + years after modern civilization has been destroyed by a fungal pandemic. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle teen Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
In season 2, we meet some new characters like Ellie’s new friend Dina (Isabela Merced) and scout Jesse (Young Mazino) in Jackson, Wyoming, where Joel and Ellie settle after the events of season one. Later Ellie and Dina travel to Seattle.
In season 2, we also meet a group of former Fireflies who’ve joined the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) militia group in Seattle: soldier Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever), who’s seeking vengeance for someone she loved, soldier Manny (Danny Ramirez), doctor Mel (Ariela Barer), military medic Nora (Tati Gabrielle) and Owen (Spencer Lord).
