Esse perfil NÃO aceita críticas a Joel Miller, a palavra dele é lei e não há democracia. Se ele acha, eu concordo. Se ele fala, eu escuto. Se ele manda, eu obedeço. Se ele tem 1 fã, esse fã sou eu. Se ele não tem fã, eu não existo. Se o mundo é contra ele, eu sou contra o mundo pic.twitter.com/u2FrPWNc5x

Spoiler Alert: What happens in The Last of Us Season 1 finale?

Ellie and Joel finally make it to the Fireflies after going through a lot of enemies. However, their meeting is not what they had hoped for. Joel comes to know that he has to make a difficult choice. To prepare the antidote, the scientists at the Fireflies HQ need to extract the fungus from Ellie’s brain, killing her in the process. Joel ends up choosing Ellie, killing everyone on site while carrying an unconscious Ellie to safety.

When does The Last of Us Season 2 begin filming?

In a recent interview with Collider, Pascal said, “In the year 2023? Oh, what season are we in now? We’re getting into spring? Yes, there is a chance. Yes.” The first season of The Last of Us took around 18 months to film. So, looking at the time gap, there’s a high probability that the second season won’t be here until 2025.
