The latest episode of "The Last of Us" Season 2 deals with the fallout of Joel’s death, the infected assault on Jackson and Ellie’s arrival in Seattle.

Then in the 1990s and 2000s, the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon was partly responsible for changing the way TV series handle death, with heroes carrying the pain of a loss for multiple episodes — to the point where fans would anxiously wonder whether the show would ever be fun again.

The Last of Us,” the Emmy-award-winning apocalyptic drama on Max, has returned for its second season earlier this month, and with it, its central location has been revealed—Seattle. Though, the show wasn’t filmed here.

The first we see of the Seraphites beyond the trailer comes in Season 2, episode 3. We meet a group of people on a forest trail to Seattle (the same road Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Dina (Isabela Mercred) take later in the episode), with each member clad in hooded garments branded with the same strange symbol.

Discover the Seraphites in "The Last of Us" Season 2, their beliefs, scars, whistling language, and violent feud with the WLF.
