Is Pedro Pascal Leaving The Last of Us? What Happen Next?

By Elena Gilbert On Feb 20, 2023

Right now, Pedro Pascal is at the top of his game. In just a few weeks, the third season of the popular Star Wars television series The Mandalorian, which features him as its star, will debut. He also stars in The Last of Us, an HBO series that has become one of the year’s biggest hits and is based on the popular computer game of the same name.

The actor might, however, not have been included in the production. Not because he was passed over for the part by a different applicant but rather because he neglected to answer the phone when they called to inform him that he had been given the job. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Pascal personally disclosed the following:

“That was a really strange circumstance. I was actually in London, and everyone else was in Los Angeles. And I got sent these scripts and said.. I was told that “Craig Mazin wants you to read these scripts, and if you like them, he’d like to talk to you.” I loved Chernobyl, the miniseries that he showed for HBO….

It was unbelievable. Anyway, I read the first script and I was like “Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to meet him. I want to meet him.” And we talked, we fell in love. And they were like, “Will you stay up a little bit later?” At this point it was getting kind of late in London. “To talk to Neil Druckmann, the creator of the video game.” Genius. Brilliant guy….

“And he’d like to talk to you as well.” [I] stay up for that Zoom. We all fall in love again. And then I – and then, at that point, it’s really late. I’ve got to get up in the morning. I take an Ambien to go to sleep just in case – they’ve got my adrenaline kind of going and my hopes up……

But I get a call and I get told that I got the job after I took the Ambien. And so, I was excited, I guess, but I didn’t remember. I woke up in the morning and the first thing that occurred to me was like, “Oh, man. I really want that job.”

What’s Next for Pedro Pascal After The Last of Us?

There are still many years left for Pedro to play Joel in The Last of Us because HBO has already picked up the show for a second season and is already talking about a third. He will have work for a long at least on the small screen, thanks to The Mandalorian, which continues to receive praise and positive reviews.

Additionally, he will continue to collaborate with HBO as executive producer and star of the true-crime limited series My Dentist’s Murder Trial, which is based on a 2017 New Yorker piece. It describes how Thomas Kolman, Dr. Gilberto Nez’s best friend, was killed and how he was charged with murder.
