Season 2 of The Last of Us continues to expand its cast. HBO is bringing back a face well known to players of the game and will adapt part of the events.
It was one of the phenomena of last year and the series The Last of Us swept everything in its path. Audience success, prestigious awards… the adaptation exceeded all expectations. Naturally, its sequel is particularly anticipated at the turn and its cast continues to grow with the return of an actor from the game.
A returning game actor for season 2 of The Last of Us
Filming for season 2 of The Last of Us is currently in full swing. Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal are back in action to film the continuation of the adventures of Joel and Ellie. A handful of upcoming episodes that will be based on the events of The Last of Us Part 2 without covering the entirety of it. The game would then be cut into two seasons, without us knowing exactly when Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin intend to stop for this second season. We do know, however, that the backstory which opposes the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) to the Seraphites will in any case be dealt with. HBO has just confirmed that Jeffrey Wright will reprise his role for season 2 of The Last of Us.
The actor, known for his appearances in Westworld and The Batman, will once again play the role of Isaac Dixon, which he already played in the game. TLOU 2 ultimately revealed little information about the past of the ruthless leader of the Washington Liberation Front, of which Abby is a member. He should benefit from the same treatment as other secondary characters, whose story had been developed thanks to the first season of the series The Last of Us. This was for example the case for Bill and Tess, but also for those mentioned in the game but who were not present like Ellie’s mother or Frank.
The season is still filming in Vancouver, Canada. With stolen images being legion, perhaps some clues will come to light before their time. Otherwise, we will have to wait until the first half of 2025 to see him in action again in season 2 of The Last of Us.
