Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey vibing to ‘Xanadu’ is deeply healing


If you’re still reeling days after that episode of The Last of Us Season 2, here’s something that might heal you ever so slightly.

In a promo video by HBO Max, stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey finish up their chat by vibing out to a song that answers the question: “What song would you choose to sum up our time working together?”

Folks, it’s Olivia Newton-John’s impeccable 1980 gem “Xanadu,” a dreamy tale of a place where nobody dared to go and the love that we came to know. “Very Last of Us,” says Pascal. “Theme song.”

It’s a record Ramsey explains they bought for Pascal in the clip above (it’s at the top and at 5:54). In Max’s extended TikTok version of the moment, Ramsey tells Pascal, “You got a new number, texted me the link to the ‘Xanadu’ song to prove to me that it was you. You’re like, ‘Hi, it’s Pedro. Got a new number,’ and sent me ‘Xanadu.'”

Watching this pair then play the track, with Ramsey singing and Pascal taking on the role of backup dancer, might be a temporary moment of healing for those still broken by Sunday’s episode and the big death — a moment you can also watch Ramsey and Pascal reacting to.

The Last of Us Season 2 is now streaming on Max. New episodes air weekly on Sundays 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
