Significant plot developments take place in The Last of Us Season 2 finale.
The storyline encompasses the demise of significant characters, among them being Jesse, a beloved character from Young Mazino portrayed by Jesse Williams, who meets his end in a confrontation with Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever. First appearing in Season 2, Jesse quickly won over fans’ hearts. In a recent conversation, the series’ co-creators and joint showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann shared their rationale for Jesse’s death in the Season 2 finale.

In the video game The Last of Us Part II (released in 2020), which forms part of Season 2’s adaptation, a character named Jesse meets the same unfortunate end. This was hinted at by Druckmann, one of the creators of the games, in his earlier statement. Moreover, as portrayed in the game, it is expected that Jesse’s death will significantly affect several other characters, including Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey. As Druckmann put it, “Given the circumstances—he’s the father of this unborn child and also a close friend, former lover—it’s bound to have a profound impact.” This emphasizes that Jesse was the biological father of Isabela Merced’s character Dina’s unborn child.
At the same news conference, Mazin noted that while Ellie didn’t directly cause it, she played a role in Jesse’s fate. “It’s an intriguing scenario; Jesse ultimately dies due to Ellie, but it’s Abby who pulls the trigger,” he explained.
In a playful manner, Mazin hinted at the potential impact Jesse’s demise might have on Ellie’s bond with Dina. As Ellie embarked on her quest for vengeance driven by a sense of justice, Dina chose to accompany her. However, Mazin pondered over who Dina would hold responsible for Jesse’s death, given that Ellie was fully aware of why Abby had taken Joel’s life. “Jesse’s death will undoubtedly alter things for her,” Mazin mused. “But the specifics of how that unfolds? We’ll need to watch and find out.
The Last of Us Seasons 1 and 2 are available on Max.
