Will Pedro Pascal Return in The Last of Us After His Shocking Death? Joel’s Future in Season 2 and Beyond Explained
Pedro Pascal’s character, Joel, may have died in Season 2 of The Last of Us, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of him. Even though Abby (played by Kaitlyn Dever) killed Joel in a shocking and brutal scene, Pedro Pascal will still be part of the show. Fans upset by Joel’s early death can relax a little — there’s more of Pascal coming in Season 2 and beyond.
Even though Joel is gone, Pedro Pascal will appear through flashback scenes. According to reports by ScreenRant, Pascal will be seen in four out of the seven episodes of Season 2.
Since Joel has already appeared in two episodes, fans can expect to see him two more times this season. These flashbacks will explore important moments in Joel and Ellie’s relationship during the five-year gap between Season 1 and Season 2.
Some of these scenes will be directly inspired by The Last of Us Part II video game. One of the flashbacks might show Joel taking Ellie to a science museum, where they share a special moment about space and dreams.
Other flashbacks will deal with the emotional consequences of Joel’s decision to save Ellie from the Firefly hospital at the end of Season 1. These scenes will help fill in the story and make the bond between Joel and Ellie even deeper.
There’s even more good news for Pedro Pascal fans! Since Season 2 only covers a part of The Last of Us Part II game, Joel’s story will continue in Season 3 too. Many important flashbacks involving Joel happen later in the game, which means Pascal will likely return in future episodes.
One key flashback that fans are waiting for is the emotional conversation between Ellie and Joel after a dance in Jackson. This scene is expected to appear later in the story.
Even though Joel is no longer alive in the present storyline, his character is still very important. His past actions and Ellie’s memories of him will continue to guide her journey, especially as she sets out for revenge against Abby.
Joel’s presence will still be strongly felt, through flashbacks and emotional moments, as the story moves forward.
