The Last of Us S2 finale sees 55% drop in viewers, but S2 beats S1; the curious case of Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey show

The second season of The Last of Us came to an end with the finale this Sunday. The video game adaptation has managed to hold its own with the critics, but the TV viewership ratings are another matter. According to figures released by HBO (the platform airing the show internationally), The Last of Us S2 finale had 3.7 million viewers across platforms, which was a 30% drop from the S2 premiere and a staggering 55% drop from the S1 finale. Yet, overall, the second season has fared better than the first outing, which is curious. (Also read: Bella Ramsey becomes the 'most hated' star; all because they acted in a video game adaptation) The Last of Us season 2 peaked with its premiere in April, which brought in 5.3 million viewers in the first 24 hours. In comparison, the season finale on Sunday had 3.7 million viewers. The dip looks much bigger when taking into account that the season 1 finale in 2022 had 8.2 million viewers. However, Variety reports that while the viewership count is low on release day, the show is making up for it in the days and weeks to come. The Last of Us S2 is tallying 37 million viewers per episode as opposed to 32 million for S1. The fact that S2 will continue to accrue more viewers. The gap may just widen. Since season 1, The Last of Us has received polarising reactions. Many have praised the show's tone, its loyalty to the original video game's plot, and visualisation. The performances of the two leads - Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey - have been praised too. Yet, Bella has been subject to ugly trolling and hate online for 'not looking like' Ellie from the video game. In season 2, after Pedro's character, Joel, was killed off in episode 2, the trolling for Bella intensified. Many 'fans' of the show felt Bella could not carry the show herself, leading to intense backlash online. Kaitlyn Dever, the new entrant to the show this season, also faced opposition. While Bella was ridiculed for 'not being pretty enough', ironically, Kaitlyn's casting was called out as she was 'not as muscular and buff' as her character in the game. The internet rhetoric has certainly worked against the show in the short run, with fewer 'loyal fans' tuning in for the episodes on release day. However, the show continues to expand its viewer base with consistently good reviews. More new fans are discovering the show over time, leading to increased viewership as time passes. The Last of Us will return for a third season, and showrunner Craig Mazin says a fourth may also be possible. For the first time, Pedro Pascal will not be leading the show. So, it will be interesting to see how 'loyal fans' react, and how the internet trolls take it. The Last of Us is streaming in India on JioHotstar.

Bella Hadid SMARTLY Shuts Down Interviewer's 'Toxic Ex' Question: 'We're Not Doing That in 2025'

Bella Hadid recently made an appearance in London to promote her fragrance brand Orabella at Selfridges. The supermodel sat down with ELLE UK for what was expected to be a light and fun interview about perfumes and personal scent preferences. Everything was going smoothly as Bella shared her fragrance tips and recommendations, creating a relaxed and cheerful mood. But the conversation suddenly shifted when an unexpected question was asked, taking a more personal turn. The interviewer asked Bella, 'What if I'm meeting up with a toxic ex? I want to make him want me back, what scent would be best for that and why?' Bella Hadid immediately dropped the playful tone and looked directly into the camera. She responded firmly, saying, 'Don't make up with your toxic ex. I'm not giving you any ideas with my fragrances of how to get your toxic ex back. We're not doing that in 2025.' The interviewer quickly ended the interview with a final question after Bella's direct response. Here's what Bella Hadid said about her past relationships Bella Hadid has spoken openly in the past about emotionally difficult relationships. In a 2022 episode of the Victoria's Secret VS Voices podcast, she reflected on how people-pleasing affected her personal and professional life. 'I constantly went back to men, and also, women, that had abused me, and that's where the people-pleasing came in,' she shared. 'I started to not have boundaries, not only sexually, physically, emotionally, but then it went into my workspace.' She added that she became a people pleaser at work and cared more about everyone else's opinion than her own, admitting that she had placed her self-worth in the hands of others. When speaking about her romantic relationships, she shared that it often felt like a fight-or-flight response; either she would go silent, cry, and withdraw, or she would lash out and leave. One of Bella's most well-known relationships was with Canadian singer The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye), whom she dated on and off between 2015 and 2019. Their relationship gained public attention, especially during his time dating Selena Gomez, which created a widely talked-about love triangle. Now, she seems to be in a more peaceful chapter. Since late 2023, Bella has been dating Adan Banuelos, a horse trainer from Texas. Speaking to ELLE UK, she shared, 'My love language is definitely food. Especially when I'm at home in Texas, every morning and night I'm probably cooking 24/7 when I'm not working. I love to feed people.' She added that she believed the best way to someone's heart was through their stomach, and if she had a primary love language, it would probably be cooking for her significant other or even his entire family.

Bella Ramsey becomes the ‘most hated' star; all because they acted in a video game adaptation

21-year-old Bella Ramsey is currently the 'most hated' star in Hollywood. It feels like every time a young person has the audacity to essay fleshed-out roles and speak their minds in interviews, the internet cannot keep calm until they're dragged down—Jennifer Lawrence, Rachel Zegler, and now Bella, who portrayed the 14-year-old and 19-year-old Ellie in seasons 1 and 2 of HBO's The Last of Us. (Also Read: Bella Ramsey was 'fixated' on not looking like Ellie in The Last Of Us, opens up on trolls obsessed with their looks) Type Bella's name in the search bar of any social media, and you'll see why I say that. The worst of the hate coming their way, however, has to be from the Reddit community. Subreddits dedicated to the web series can't seem to stand the way Bella looks, emotes, acts…maybe even breathes. Bella, being on the spectrum as an autistic person, also seems to rile them up. All because they do not look anything like the video game Ellie from the PlayStation game the series is based on. And that makes these purists mad. They don't seem to mind that their co-star, Pedro Pascal, looks nothing like video game Joel either. It's not hard to guess why. Any conversation that maybe, just maybe, the writing of season 2 is bad isn't encouraged. The hate towards Bella includes everything from homophobia and misgendering them (Bella identifies as non-binary) to pitting them against Ashley Johnson, who played Ellie in The Last of Us games. 'What are the main flaws on Bella Ramsey's face?' reads one subreddit title, inviting everyone to dissect their features. Another accuses 'her' of being an 'industry plant' while seemingly deliberately misgendering them. Numerous memes on Reddit have Bella's face superimposed on random movie posters featuring men, poking fun at how in one of the recent episodes, Ellie excited says, 'I'm gonna be a dad,' when girlfriend Dina says she's pregnant. But all is not lost, because Bella also has fans defending them fiercely on social media. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, 'bella ramsey appreciation tweet because some of you are f***ing a******s.' Another pointed out a scene from The Last of Us, writing, 'People seriously watched this scene where Bella Ramsey looked like there was no one behind those eyes just pure hatred/anger followed by a scene where they tearfully did a long scene on the porch & say they have no emotional range. Y'all are miserable & blindly hating.' Another wrote, 'propaganda i'm not falling for; bella ramsey being considered ugly,' posting their pics. A fan even wrote, 'imagine hating on bella ramsey and pedro pascal just for existing, couldn't be me.' The Last of Us season 2 premiered on 13 April, and it wasn't long before Bella realised what was happening. Talking to THR later that month, the actor revealed that they had deactivated all their social media accounts a few months before the show even aired. Hinting that they anticipated the hate, they said, 'I always knew that I'd [deactivate] it one day and never even really wanted to have social media in the first place. It wasn't like this big, dramatic thing, but there was an element of it that was thinking about the show coming out for season two. If I just avoid Twitter and Reddit, which now I'm doing, then everything's totally fine.' New episodes of The Last of Us season 2 drop every Monday at 6:35 pm on JioHotstar in India.
