Joel will still die in the second season of The Last of Us: It's inevitable

The second season of The Last of Us will be aired in the first half of 2025. Recently, Pedro Pascal revealed that Joel's plot development in the second season "would have made no sense if it didn't follow the original work." This suggests that Joel will still die...

"It should be clear to everyone by now, but I'm not afraid to kill characters," said Craig Mazin, showrunner for The Last of Us. "Neither Neil nor I feel we should be limited by the plot of the original film."

Pedro Pascal said that he had not played the game and had not seen that scene, but he knew about it. He did not know how the screenwriter would write this plot, but he believed that "the first season faithfully followed the original game. If the second season deviated from the original, it would be meaningless. So yes, this is my honest answer."

There are not many photos of Joel in the second season of The Last of Us, but there are many photos of Ellie and Tina. This shows that as a "dying man", Joel really has no new looks to reveal.
