Contrary to recent reports circulating on social media, it has been confirmed by a spokesperson for HBO that Pedro Pascal has not yet finished filming his scenes for HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2. The spokesperson told IGN that any claims suggesting Pascal had wrapped up his scenes are “not accurate.” This clarification comes as a surprise to many fans who speculated about the implications of Pascal’s potential completion of filming.
The Last of Us Season 2 is expected to delve into at least some events from Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us: Part II. One of the major plot points in the game is the brutal murder of Joel, which sets off a vengeful journey for Ellie. With rumors swirling that Pascal might have already completed filming, some fans speculated that this could mean the pivotal moment of Joel’s death has already been captured on screen. However, with filming only starting in February, it would have been an incredibly fast turnaround for Pascal to finish such a significant scene at this point.
While the TV series will not be a direct adaptation of the game, it is widely anticipated that Joel will meet his demise in Season 2, given the impact this event has on the storyline. Writer Craig Mazin has hinted that Season 2 could introduce new elements not seen in the game, adding to the excitement and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming season. Mazin has also predicted that Season 2 will incite strong reactions from fans, setting the stage for intense reactions and discussions.
In the game, Joel is killed by Abby, seeking revenge for her father’s death at Joel’s hands in the first game. The character of Abby was portrayed by Laura Bailey in the game, sparking negative responses from some fans who targeted Bailey with death threats. In the TV adaptation, Kaitlyn Dever will take on the role of Abby, bringing a new perspective to the character for viewers. The casting choices and character portrayals are expected to add depth and complexity to the story, creating a fresh interpretation of the beloved game.
As fans eagerly await the premiere of The Last of Us Season 2 in 2025, the latest update on Pedro Pascal’s filming status has generated even more intrigue and speculation. With the promise of new story elements, unexpected twists, and emotional performances, Season 2 is shaping up to be a thrilling and unforgettable continuation of the acclaimed series. Stay tuned for more updates and insights as the highly anticipated premiere date approaches.
