House bleak.
The award -winning HBO drama “The Last of Us” returns for season 2 on Sunday, April 13 (9 PM in HBO and Max). Before the premiere of season 2, it is already renewed for a third season.
Based on a video game of the same name, the program is developed in the dystopian future where society has broken down, there are zombie creatures, and the abruptness of abrupt Joel (Pedro Pascal) has formed a pseudo father/ daughter relationship).
“The relationship between Joel and Ellie … is present through everything, even when they are not together on the screen. The things that happened with them extended and echoed everything,” said Showreater and Cooking to Mazzin Exclivaly.
“You can really feel it, curiously, I think, in the performance of Bella”, the writer and winning producer of the Emmy “Chernobyl,” he continued. “Because there were times when I could say, the missing was real. It’s not just,” I want to be here with Joel right now. “It’s also like,” I would like to be here with Pedro right now. “That son of the union between them is very remarkable.”
Season 2 finds Joel more worn and tired in the world, since five years have passed since the events of season 1. When the program collects Joel and Ellie, 19, his relationship is tense.
“The good news was that I thought:” Hey, look, Pedro, if so, so your back hurts or you modify your knee, that’s great! Use that! Mazzin joked.
He added that with Pascal, who is not a father in real life, “we really talk a lot about what it is to be a father. Special when you have a son who is that age.”
“When we were doing this season, my youngest son was 19 years old. And I’m like,” it’s fine, I’m with a 19 -year -old daughter, and you feel these things and it’s difficult. “It is the nature of all parents wanting to hold on to the child, and never let them go,” he continued. “But you don’t want to quell them, and you start to guess everything. It’s a lot.”
Hi, he joked that “The Last of Us” is, “that, more zombies.”
The first season had an outstanding episode (“long time”) about the love story between Frank (Murray Bartlett) and Bill (Nick Offerman, who won an Emmy for it).
When asked if season 2 will have similar episodes, Mazzin touched the publication, “in a way. We really tried not to follow the path of” Hey, that was a successful song, let’s make another that sound like this! “But, and it happened that it works organically, we have an episode in which we focus a lot on a single relationship.”
But he added: “It’s different, I don’t want to imply that is Frank and Bill Part 2, it’s not.”
Season 2 adds some new cast members, including Jeffrey Wright, Catherine O’Hara and Kaitlyn Dever. The letter plays Abby, a woman who seeks revenge for the death of her father. Among fans of the source material, it is controversial.
Mazzin and Cooking Neil Druckmann were not “too worried” for trying to make sure the public would like.
“It’s Hard to Tell How Divisive A Current Character Is, Because Subtimes There are pretty vocal segments out there … But, When You Look at The Total Number and The Popularity of ‘The Last of Us Part II And Won a Won Dony and Won Don Dare and Won Dony, and Won Dony, and Won Dony, and Won Dony, and Won Dony, and Won Dony, and won Dony, and won Dony, and won that character.
“People will win and win things. It’s fine,” Mazzin added. “Neil and I didn’t really do it because doing something to address comments as much as reinforcing that character in this [TV] Medium, which requires some different things. “
Season 2 has some points of the plot that game fans already know. Or they?
“Fans know what happened in the game. They do not necessarily know the events of the plot of the program,” said Mazzin, adding that season 1 had some events that the program tried “very the same” and some where he diverged the source material.
He continued: “For me and for Neil, we are not so worried about people who know something. Or something that happens in the program that happened in the game, and people go:” Oh, well, yes, I knew. “We are not really a mystery;
“And then the question is:” How are we going to experience an event that happens in the program through a relationship? What does it mean for these people in the future? “Not only for this season.
When asked how many seasons expect the program to continue, he said: “We certainly know where it ends, and we know that it ends. So this is not meeon to be”, and now in the twelfth season of “The Last of Us”. That is not happening. [there will be] Sure one more season … but maybe one more, beyond that. ”
