Filming on “The Last of Us” Season 2 is getting underway soon and we’ve got some fresh casting news this week. Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice 2) is in talks to star in Season 2!
Catherine O’Hara confirmed the rumors in a chat with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” this week. You can watch the full interview with O’Hara and Bryan Cranston below.
“My son’s a set dresser on the show,” O’Hara also notes.
The lineup of directors for Season 2 includes Mark Mylod (“Succession,” The Menu) alongside Nina Lopez-Corrado (Perry Mason), Stephen Williams (Watchmen) and Kate Herron (Loki). They join returning directors Peter Hoar, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.
The cast of new faces for “The Last of Us” Season 2 includes Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Young Mazino as Jesse, and Isabela Merced as Dina, all characters from the video games.
The second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” will adapt video game sequel The Last of Us Part II, but don’t expect the game’s events to be contained to just one season. It’s likely that the sequel’s sprawling, multi-character story will span the timeline of at least two seasons.
HBO’s “The Last of Us” takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) stars in the series as Joel and Bella Ramsey (“Game of Thrones”) plays Ellie. Gabriel Luna (Terminator: Dark Fate) plays Tommy, the brother of Pascal’s Joel. Storm Reid, Anna Torv, Jeffrey Pierce, Nick Offerman, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett and Con O’Neil also star in the first season of the hit series.
