Nico Parker, who portrayed Sarah in The Last of Us Season 1, expressed her discomfort in watching Season 2 due to the distressing nature of her on-screen father's (Pedro Pascal's) brutal death. While she admits to being a fan of the cast and wanting to watch the season eventually, she emphasizes the emotional difficulty of witnessing Pascal's death. Showrunner Craig Mazin addressed the backlash over Joel's death, reassuring fans about Pascal's continued presence in other projects and clarifying that he "did not kill Pascal." The show is set for a third season, with a fourth anticipated to conclude the story.
"I haven't watched the second season because the idea of seeing him die is so deeply distressing," Parker said.
"Pedro dying is just a lot," she said.
"We didn't kill him! He's a man, he's alive. He's fine. And he's in literally everything else," Mazin said.
"I keep explaining, 'We didn't kill him! He's a man, he's alive.'"
