Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal discuss father-daughter relationship
'The Last of Us' stars Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal reveal they didn't enjoy their character's estrangement in season 2.
Spoiler alert! The following story contains details about Season 2 of HBO's "The Last of Us" (now streaming).
After devastating viewers with harrowing performances, a gruesome character death and enough Cordyceps zombies to infect viewers dreams, the latest season of HBO's "The Last of Us" is coming to an end.
The Season 2 finale of HBO's apocalypse drama airs this weekend, and it'll pick up from last week's tearjerker penultimate episode.
Pedro Pascal returned to reprise his role as Joel Miller in a flashback story that took place before his tragic and brutal death in Episode 2. The episode offered clarity on what happened between the two leads after Ellie (Bella Ramsey) learned what Joel did last season. Beyond outraged, Ellie still chooses to try to forgive him, not knowing if she ever will, in a crushing moment, makes his death all the more tragic.
The finale will pick right back up to the present day in Seattle with Ellie continuing her path of vengeance while becoming a soon-to-be parent to Dina's (Isabela Merced) unborn child. Here's how to watch the final episode.
When is 'The Last of Us' finale?
The Season 2 finale of "The Last of Us" drops on Sunday, May 25 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on HBO and its streaming service Max, soon to be HBO Max (again).

Yes, Season 3 of "The Last of US" is official, HBO announced ahead of the Season 2 premiere.
However, it is unclear if the third season will be the show's last. Deadline reported last year that co-creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin said they were previously contemplating making up to four seasons.

John Oliver Slams the 'Genius' Who Keeps Changing HBO Max's Name, Admonishes Parent Company Exec for Anticipating His 'Hot Take'

John Oliver didn't disappoint his corporate overlords Sunday night by addressing the recent HBO Max name reversal — the latest in a series of changes for the streaming service. During his main segment on Last Week Tonight, which was about President Donald Trump's often antagonistic relationship with the press, Oliver referred to the current administration's decision to ban the Associated Press from the Oval Office for refusing to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' a move Trump made soon after taking office.

Discovery CFO Explains Reasoning Behind Max Rebrand, Potential Company Split Justifying the AP's decision, Oliver noted: 'It has clients all over the world, and lots of them still use the term the Gulf of Mexico, so it's not as simple as you're making out there, especially because it can take time for people to adjust to a stupid name change.' He then turned to the recent decision by Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns HBO and HBO Max, where Last Week Tonight airs. Showing the various logos/names onscreen, Oliver noted: 'Sometimes, hypothetically, before we can even get used to one dumb name [HBO Go], some genius comes along and only makes it dumber [HBO Now], then somehow it gets dumber still [HBO Max], and then against all the odds, somehow it becomes even worse [Max], before inexplicably going back to the stupid thing it was before [HBO Max].' Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery streaming marketing chief Shauna Spenley last week said she was anxiously awaiting Oliver's take on the streamer's name change. Oliver notoriously isn't afraid to go after whatever corporation owns his home network (from Time Warner to AT&T to Warner Bros. Discovery) on his show. 'We just cannot wait for his hot take on this whole rebrand,' Spenley told advertisers during the company's upfront presentation to advertisers last week. 'We think it's going to be pretty hot.' Oliver noted her comments, saying: 'Incidentally, only this week, my parent company apparently said they cannot wait for my hot take on this whole rebrand — believing that whatever I say about this change was going to be pretty hot, so please look me in the eyes when I say this: Fuck you, don't tell me what to do. I'm not gonna do it if you want it unless, wait, hold on, maybe you thought baiting me like that would be a good way to stop me from doing it, but on the other hand, how can a company be that smart when they're the same people that came up with so many stupid fucking names?' The show also featured a brief graphic at the end of the opening credits with the various logos the streamer has used with the caption 'Mutatis Mutandis.' Also during Sunday's show, his 'And Now This' segment featured a humorous montage of various local news outlets' 'pretty hot takes on HBO's latest rebranding.'
