Filming for Season 2 of The Last of Us was impacted by the strikes in Hollywood, as the scripts for the new episodes were not yet complete. We know that production will resume in a few weeks; however, there is a possibility that the return of the series will be delayed even further.
The reason? According to recent reports, the culprit would be none other than Pedro Pascal, the actor who brings Joel to life. He currently has a busy schedule, which could make Season 2 take a little longer than planned to debut.
Pedro Pascal schedule would further delay The Last of Us Season 2
According to Maxblizz (via Insider Gaming), the next episodes of the HBO series will take longer to premiere. This possibly because Pedro Pascal is currently very busy in other productions, such as the Gladiator sequel and his possible participation in the next Fantastic Four movie.
The report claims that the production of Season 2 could be delayed until February 20, 2024. That said, the process is expected to conclude until September 9, 2024, approximately. So it is possible that the series may not debut until 2025.
Now, it is important to mention that HBO has not commented on the matter. Earlier reports stated that production of the series would resume on January 7, so the delay would be more than 1 month.
Officially, HBO only mentioned that production would start in early 2024, without giving an exact date. If the information is accurate, then fans will have to be a little more patient and wait even longer for the new episodes.
