The trailer reveal was part of a panel at the festival, which had series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann and stars Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Diego Luna, Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, and Young Mazino, reports Variety.

The trailer begins with familiar elements like Joel and Ellie hiking through the forest, Ellie tiptoeing so as to not alert any infected, and a grave of fireflies, so to speak.
