Joel was killed by the new character of season 2, Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).
He had previously killed Abby’s father, his efforts to protect Ellie. Then, Abby killed Joel as revenge. After Joel saved his life, he stabbed him on his neck while Ellie looked, crying. Ironically, since Abby killed Joel as revenge for him killing his father, Ellie then swore that shed Kill Abby and his friends, as revenge for them killing Joel.
For this reason, Abby is a Polia character.
When asked if Mazzin and his cooker Neil Druckmann Tok tok any to make sure that spectators like Abby, Mazzin said: “People will like it and they will not like things. That’s right. Neil and I did the time, let’s say things in this medium, which requires some different things.”
He explained that in the video game, people play like Abby, “then you connect with her immediately, because you are His. You are trying to stay alive with her, while you are moving it. ”
Mazin added: “Well, that is not the case for us in the program. So, immediately, we thought it was important that people knew, who is she? What is she because what happened to her?”

“For me and for Neil, we are not so worried about people who know something. Or, something that happens in the program that happened in the game, and people say:” Oh, well, yes, I knew about that, “Mazin explained.
“Because it is not really a mystery; this is not a whodunit. What this show is about are relationships.”
The Emmy winning Writer and producer “Chernobyl” Added: “And the question is:” How are we going to experience an event that happens in the program through a relationship? What does it mean for these people in the future? “Not only for this season.
“The Last of Us” has already been renewed for a season 3.
When asked how many seasons he sees that the program continues, especially consulting Pascal’s loss, Mazin said: “We certainly know where it ends, and we know that it ends. So this is not destined to be”, and now in the 12th season of the last “” that is not happening. [there will be] Sure one more season … but maybe one more, beyond that. “
