HBO hit the entertainment jackpot in 2023 with the incredible success of The Last Of Us series. Adapted from the video game of the same name, the show starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey received rave reviews not only from video game fans but also from general audiences after the first season finished, with season 2 set to premiere in 2025.
Already a recognizable face with his presence in high-profile shows like Narcos and The Mandalorian, Pascal once again proved his worth as a blockbuster actor with his performance in the video game adaptation. Interestingly, while preparing for the role, the star revealed that showrunner Craig Mazin had specific instructions for his actor to stay away from playing the game. But Pascal's attempt to go against this rule came back to bite him hilariously.
When you look at some of the shows and series that have made waves in recent years, the common factor in each of them is Pedro Pascal. From Game Of Thrones to The Mandalorian to Narcos, and finally with the huge success of The Last Of Us, the celebrity has proven that he fits perfectly in the big leagues.
