In Season 2 of “The Last of Us,” certain parts of the game will be altered, while also introducing new characters such as Eugene Linden, portrayed by Joe Pantoliano, who was not present in the original game but only referenced in its sequel. This isn’t unprecedented for HBO’s series, as in Season One, modifications were made to characters like Bill and Frank, with Bill having a smaller role in the initial Naughty Dog game and Frank not appearing physically at all. As more details about Season 2 emerge, which includes a major battle at Jackson and the development of the virus involving airborne spores, the cast of the HBO show has provided a lighter, more heartwarming moment for Pedro Pascal’s character, Joel, before the impending ominous storm.
