You\u2019d think, like the games, that this would mean the end of Joel as a character in the show. But according to the showrunners, you can\u2019t rule it out entirely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In a press event held late last week, showrunners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin sat down for an hour to talk shop about the season 2 finale of <em>The Last of Us<\/em>. During the Q&amp;A portion of the event, Druckmann and Mazin were asked if the show would ever explore the events between the death of Joel\u2019s daughter Sarah and the time period before he meets Ellie. While the duo initially demurred, both conceded that it wasn\u2019t out of the question in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cIt\u2019s always good to leave some things a mystery, to let the audience use their imagination to fill in the blanks,\u201d Druckmann says. \u201cObviously, every once in a while, we tap into those mysteries when they&#8217;re important for the story we&#8217;re telling here. So, I guess, never say never.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Mazin repeated that they\u2019d \u201cnever\u201d say the show wouldn\u2019t explore more of Joel, but in the case of season 2, going down that narrative path was a complicated proposition.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/never-say-never-the-last-of-us-writers-say-joel-could-return-in-new-seasons-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cAnd this season was tricky because it was so driven by this traumatic event: Joel dies,\u201d Mazin muses. \u201cAnd once Joel dies, it is so big and impactful that you don&#8217;t have quite as much room to sort of wander down some side streets, you really need to stick to what happens as a result of that, as well as what happened leading up to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cBut I think next season, we probably will have a bit more flexibility. And you know, we love a side trip to Indonesia, it&#8217;s one of our favorite things to do, so maybe- maybe a side trip to, you know, Joel and Tommy terrorizing the countryside, we&#8217;ll never know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Druckman chimed in by stating that they never would have guessed that the show would end up exploring Joel\u2019s childhood, as it did in episode 6 of season 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cYou can\u2019t predict these things,\u201d Druckmann says. This sentiment was echoed later by Mazin when discussing the topic of what\u2019s going to happen in season 3. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI\u2019m experienced enough to know that two weeks from now we may have a different idea of how it should go,\u201d Mazin says. \u201cAll I can say is we haven\u2019t seen the last of Kaitlyn Dever and we haven\u2019t seen the last of Bella Ramsey, and we haven\u2019t seen the last of Isabela Merced, and we haven\u2019t seen the last of a lot of people who are currently dead in the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s worth noting that in real life, the cast of <em>The Last of Us<\/em> already held a \u201cwrap\u201d party for Joel\u2019s actor, Pedro Pascal. You might have already seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/pedro-pascal-showcases-dance-moves-013908387.html\">footage of Pascal celebrating<\/a> by dancing with what appears to be a giant rainbow glow stick. To some, this may read as if Pascal\u2019s time on <em>The Last of Us<\/em> is done. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJ67IVeMUgj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJ67IVeMUgj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJ67IVeMUgj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\">A post shared by Capital Buzz (@capitalbuzz)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But more Joel wouldn\u2019t necessarily mean that the show brings Pedro Pascal back into the mix. Theoretically, the writers could depict a younger Joel with a different actor, as it did when it depicted Joel as a teen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For now, all we know is that season three will likely <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/news\/the-last-of-us-catherine-ohara-pedro-pascal-the-studio-1236403911\/\">place the focus more on Abby<\/a> to mirror the perspective changes found all throughout the game.
