Nico Parker, who portrayed Joel’s daughter Sarah in the first season of The Last of Us, has yet to watch the second season due to the emotional weight of Joel’s death, played by Pedro Pascal. Parker revealed that Pascal frequently asked if she had seen the new season, but she admitted she simply couldn’t bring herself to watch it yet.
Despite the sudden and violent nature of Joel’s death scene, Parker plans to eventually muster the courage to watch it. She has seen some clips but avoided the full episode, intending to watch it when she feels mentally prepared.
Parker expressed high praise for the performances in the second season, especially highlighting Bella’s outstanding acting. She feels proud of the entire cast and crew, acknowledging their immense talent and considering it a privilege for audiences to witness their work.
Showrunner Craig Mazin responded humorously to fans’ complaints about Joel’s death, reminding everyone that Pedro Pascal is very much alive and continues to star in many other projects.
The Last of Us has been confirmed for a third season, with the composer hinting at the possibility of a fourth season as well.
