The Last of Us: This traumatic scene from the game will be good for the second season!

The phenomenon series of the year, the series adaptation of The Last of Us managed to win over both fans and neophytes of the video game franchise. At nine episodes, the first season of the HBO series was watched by millions of viewers, with more each week.

The adventures of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in an America affected by an epidemic caused by the Cordyceps fungus have seduced, shocked and moved the public, who are already eagerly awaiting the second season of the series.

Even if you have to wait to discover these new episodes, which are supposed to start shooting at the end of the year, you can already know the intrigue of this second season, since it will fit at least part of the second game. video, called The Last of Us: Part II.

The first season faithfully adapted the first part of the video game franchise thanks to the work of Neil Druckman (game designer) and Craig Mazin (Chernobyl). Even if some differences in the script fell through in the series adaptation, the first burst of episodes respected the main plot of the video game.

A traumatic scene in season 2

We can expect the same for the second season, especially in the most traumatic scenes, including the one that fans and players dread. In the first act of the second video game, Joel is brutally murdered. It is her death that will lead Eli to seek revenge.

Could Pedro Pascal’s popularity significantly change the course of events in The Last of Us Season 2? I am not convinced. in the interview EsquireCraig Mazin hasn’t committed to anything, but he doesn’t seem determined to make any big changes. This suggests that the sequence in question will be featured in Season 2:

“It should be pretty clear to everyone by now, but I’m not afraid to kill off characters. But it’s important to note that neither Neil nor I feel constrained by the source material.”

Although he didn’t play the video game and didn’t watch the scene, Pedro Pascal is well aware that it would be a mistake to escape this conspiracy: “Adapting the first game so faithfully, it honestly doesn’t make sense to seriously deviate from the original path.”.

But her co-star Bella Ramsey fears she’ll have to film this traumatic but necessary scene in season two: “If it happens on the show, I don’t know if I’m emotionally ready for it.”

Only Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin know how they will stage this traumatic sequence in The Last of Us Season 2. Get your tissues ready, because the second opus of the video game franchise is more emotionally powerful than the first. shutter.

The first season of The Last of Us is available on Prime Video.
