Season 2 of HBO’s The Final of Us is at present filming within the Canadian province of British Columbia and Pedro Pascal, who performs post-apocalypse dad Joel Miller, has reportedly completed all of his elements only one month after filming started. In case you’ve performed Naughty Canine’s TLOU Half II, then you definately in all probability know why he’s allegedly wrapped so rapidly.
The stories that Pascal is finished filming TLOU season 2 comes from business insider Daniel Richtman, who posted the information on March 25 on his locked Patreon web page As Selection reported in December 2023, season two started filming on February 12 of this yr. This may counsel that Pascal’s Joel might exit the identical method Naughty Canine’s Joel did.
For many who haven’t performed the 2020 post-apocalyptic action-adventure recreation, think about this your spoiler warning. I’m going to speak about what occurred to Joel.
If you begin The Final of Us Half II, you start enjoying an older Joel, 5 years after the occasions of the primary recreation. There’s a short gameplay sequence introducing you to the characters and world and mechanics earlier than a four-year time skip places you accountable for Ellie Williams, one of many authentic recreation’s two major protagonists. Ultimately, you play because the second protagonist, muscle mommy Abigail “Abby” Anderson, who tracks down and bludgeons Joel to dying with a wedge (a sort of golf membership) in entrance of Ellie. It’s a fucked-up scene that places in movement “the cycle of violence” recreation director Neil Druckmann has used to explain TLOU Half II’s story up to now. So, if Pedro Pascal is finished along with his elements within the HBO adaptation of the sport, and we all know that the present has discovered its Abby, effectively…two plus two equals 4, doesn’t it?
Richtman instructed Kotaku over X/Twitter DMs that filming on the present is scheduled to conclude in August, with a premier slated for someday between March and April 2025.
The Final of Us collection (practically) accomplished its casting simply earlier than capturing started, bringing in Dora the Discover’s Isabela Merced to play Dina and Beef’s Younger Mazino to painting Jesse, two of Ellie’s besties within the recreation. Abby’s buddy circle has additionally been stuffed out, with Danny Ramirez, Tati Gabrielle, Ariela Barer, and Spencer Lord enjoying Manny, Nora, Mel, and Owen, respectively.
