Pedro Pascal (‘The Last of Us’): Emmys 2023 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Pedro Pascal is entering the “The Last of Us” episode “Kin”” as his 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Actor. “Kin” aired on February 19, 2023, and is the sixth episode episode of the HBO drama’s freshman season.

In “Kin,” three months after watching Henry (Lamar Johnson) and ignoring the advice of locals, Joel (Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) receive a grave warning about what lies ahead. They descend deeper into dangerous territory in search of the Fireflies – and Tommy (Gabriel Luna). Later, Ellie learns more about Joel’s past, while Joel tries his best to forget. The episode was written by series creator co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Jasmila Žbanić.

Pascal, who had never before been nominated for an Emmy, received three this year: as Drama Series Actor, as Guest Comedy Series Actor for his guest hosting stint on “Saturday Night Live,” and as narrator on the documentary series “Patagonia.” For this 2023 drama actor contest, Pascal is competing against the “Succession” trio of Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin as well as Jeff Bridges for “The Old Man” and Bob Odenkirk for “Better Call Saul.”

“The Last of Us” received a whopping 25 Emmy nominations this year, second only to “Succession’s” 27, including Best Drama Series, along with bids for leads Pascal and Bella Ramsey and seven of its guest performers as well as writing and directing nominations.
