‘The Last of Us’ Season 2: Pedro Pascal on whether filming will begin this year

• The Last of Us is one of the most popular shows on television right now based on the PlayStation game.
• An interviewer recently spoke with Pascal about his other television role as a hardened father.
• Bella Ramsey expressed her excitement to revisit some of the storylines from Part II.

‘The Last of Us’ was renewed for Season 2 earlier this year, and it is expected to cover the events of the series’ second game.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’re probably aware that the post-apocalyptic survival series The Last of Us is one of the most popular shows on television right now. The series is based on the Playstation game of the same name and follows hardened smuggler Joel (Pedro Pascal) as he transports a young girl, Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who is thought to hold the cure for the fungal infection that wiped out the world. The first season has followed fairly closely to the narrative of the first game in the franchise, taking opportunities to expand the story where they can while staying true to the heart of the games, making it one of, if not the greatest video game adaptation of all time.

An interviewer recently spoke with Pascal about his other television role as a hardened father figure in a galaxy far, far away. During their discussion about The Mandalorian Season 3, Weintraub naturally took the opportunity to check in with Pascal about The Last of Us, asking if filming for Season 2 will begin later this year. As he can’t reveal too much, Pascal answered somewhat playfully saying, “In the year 2023? Oh, what season are we in now? We’re getting into spring?” Ultimately, he came around to specifics saying, “Yes, there is a chance. Yes.”

Will The Last of Us Season 2 be released after the second game?

While the creators of The Last of Us have not officially stated it, many fans of the games are expecting Season 2 of the wildly popular series to cover the content of the second game. The series was renewed shortly after the second episode aired in January, with game director and series co-creator Neil Druckmann tweeting the news with the phrase “Part II —> HBO” at the time.

Following the Season 2 order, Bella Ramsey expressed her excitement to revisit some of the storylines from Part II. “I’m really excited for the Ellie/Dina story,” Ramsey said on the podcast . Though The Last of Us Part II is currently the final game in the franchise, Season 2 of the series may not be the end. Prior to the renewal, co-creator Craig Mazin stated that, while they don’t see this as a series that will last for seasons and seasons, “probably the amount of remaining story [in The Last of Us Part II] would take us more than a season to tell.”
