The Last of Us season 2 is officially on its way, with HBO having confirmed the continuation of the hit series back in January 2023. Now, Pedro Pascal, who plays Joel Miller on the show, has provided an update on when the next chapter might start filming.

While promoting The Mandalorian season 3, the actor was asked by Collider whether it's possible cameras could start rolling soon, to which he replied: "In the year 2023? Oh, what season are we in now? We're getting into spring? Yes, there is a chance. Yes."

"Also, the complexity of her relationship with Joel and how that gets decidedly... more complex," they continued. "I'm looking forward to that, and the violence that ensues is thrilling in a way. To get to explore that in a really safe environment would be cool but I am nervous about it, too. I know what happens in the second game, and I'm nervous about potentially being without Pedro for a while. That's gonna be really sad."
