Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal discuss father-daughter relationship
“The Last of Us” stars Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal reveal they didn’t enjoy their character’s estrangement in season 2.
“The Last of Us” returned with a killer Season 2 premiere that proved that future episodes will not be pulling back any punches.
HBO’s Emmy-winning zombie sci-fi drama, which debuted in 2023, depicts a world where the mind-controlling parasitic fungi Cordyceps have taken over the human race and reshaped society at large.
The first episode of Season 2 threw fans five years ahead of the events of the first season. The episode shows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) somewhat normal lives while living in the safe haven of Jackson, Wyoming. Yet the two clearly have unresolved tension, as Ellie still holds resentment for Joel’s actions last season and for lying to her face.
The episode also introduced new characters Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), who has made her life mission to seek vengeance on Joel, and Dina (Isabela Merced), Ellie’s best friend and love interest.
The hit series is a live-action adaption of the 2014 video game franchise of the same name. Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin co-created the series that went on to win eight Emmy awards last year and was nominated for outstanding drama series.
