The highly anticipated HBO’s The Last of Us season two has finally entered the filming stage of production, which means we now have a full roster of all of the cast members.
After months of teasing and rumours being spread about who will play who in The Last of Us season two, filming has finally begun, with filming starting, that means the entire cast for the second season of HBO’s blockbuster has been revealed. Today, IGN has revealed the new cast, including roles that haven’t been teased (looking at the teased and now finalized casting of Kaitlin Dever as Abby), and the cast has added some serious star power, aside from the returning cast of Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsay as Ellie.
The series will adapt the events of The Last of Us Part II video game, although fans remain uncertain if events will play out exactly as they have in the original story. Fans of the game series will feel right at home with the newly introduced characters — and actors that will portray them on screen — but for the uninitiated:
- Danny Ramirez (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) is joining season two as Manny, a former member of the Fireflies, and current Washington Liberation Front member.
- Ariela Barer (Runaways) will bring the fledging medic and former member of the Fireflies, Mel, to the dystopian landscape.
- Tati Gabrielle (Uncharted, You) will portray Nora, and Spencer Lord (Family Law) will round out the robust cast as Owen.
- Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone, Schitt’s Creek) will play an undisclosed role.
Filming on season two of The Last of Us is well underway, with a planned release scheduled to land sometime in 2025. In the meantime, fans can read up on our review of The Last of Us Part II (Remastered), or check out how well the first season fared.
