Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are the creators of the HBO post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us. The 2023 television series, based on the 2013 video game created by Naughty Dog, is twenty years into a pandemic brought on by a widespread fungal illness that compels its hosts to mutate into zombie-like monsters and causes society to collapse.
On April 2, 1975, José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal was born in Santiago, Chile. His parents actively participated in resistance movements against the Pinochet regime and were ardent Allende supporters. His family was granted political asylum in Denmark after seeking protection in the Venezuelan embassy in Santiago. Pascal was reared in Orange County, California, and San Antonio, Texas after they immigrated to the country. In his early years, he engaged in competitive swimming, and at age 11, he advanced to the Texas state finals.
After pursuing acting there, he graduated from the Orange County School of the Arts in 1993. A federal grand jury indicted his father in 1995 for his participation in activities at a reproductive clinic he co-owned with two other people.
José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal was born on 2 April 1975 in Santiago, Chile. His parents were devout followers of Allende and active in resistance groups against the Pinochet dictatorship. His family sought refuge in the Venezuelan embassy in Santiago and later received political asylum in Denmark. They moved to the United States where Pascal was raised in Orange County, California and San Antonio, Texas. He participated in competitive swimming in his early years and reached the state championships in Texas at age 11.
He pursued acting at the Orange County School of the Arts and graduated in 1993. In 1995, his father was indicted by a federal grand jury for his involvement in events at a fertility clinic he ran with two others. Pascal maintains that his father did nothing wrong. His mother died by suicide in 1999 and he began using her surname professionally as a tribute to her because he felt that Americans had difficulty pronouncing his original surname.
In addition to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Good Wife, Homeland, The Mentalist, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and Graceland, Pascal has made appearances in a number of television shows. He played Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of Game of Thrones, and in 2015, he played Javier Pea, a U.S. DEA agent, in the television series Narcos. He wrote the 2010 play Flaca Loves Bone and has a wealth of theatre experience. Play Under My Bed, a 2008 film, marked his directing debut.
He is also a member of the LAByrinth Theater Company in New York City and directed Yosemite and Killing Play at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater. He appeared alongside Heidi Klum in Sia’s “Fire Met Gasoline” music video in 2015. He appeared in The Great Wall and Kingsman: The Golden Circle in 2017 as the mercenary Pero[28] Tovar and as Agent Whiskey in Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle. He appeared in The Mandalorian and The Equalizer 2 in 2018.
He played the title character in the first live-action Star Wars television series, The Mandalorian, and he played Francisco “Catfish” Morales in the Netflix heist drama Triple Frontier. Both projects were released in 2019.
The final episode of The Last of Us’s first season will air on March 12, 2023, in the US, and on March 13, 2023, in the UK. The first season was shot in Canada over the course of about 200 days, and additional months were devoted to editing the show and including the eerie fungus effects.
Season one of the show premiered on January 15, 2023, 18 months after the first scene was filmed. Even if the second season has been confirmed, it won’t be available for some time. We wouldn’t anticipate seeing season two episodes until at least the middle of 2024, even if production started in mid-March 2023.
The Last of Us’s first season depicts the growing romance between Ellie and Riley in a deserted shopping centre and weaves their tragic story with that of Ellie’s search for aid for an injured Joel. The Left Behind DLC was an add-on that players could acquire for the original game, and season one now includes both of them.
Season two will begin with some of the second game’s events, and it is anticipated that Joel and Ellie will reprise their respective roles. Abby Anderson, Ellie’s girlfriend Dina, Jesse, Owen, Lev, and Yara are among the new characters that are introduced, along with a new main character.
