HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 is set to premiere this April and has recently announced six new additions to its cast. According to Variety, the actors joining the series are Joe Pantoliano (Memento, The Matrix), Alanna Ubach (Euphoria, Bombshell), Ben Ahlers (The Gilded Age, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Hettienne Park (Don't Look Up), Robert John Burke (RoboCop 3), and Noah Lamanna (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds).
These new cast members will portray both characters from the original The Last of Us Part II game and new characters created for the show. Joe Pantoliano will play Eugene, a character who was originally a minor figure in the game as Ellie and Dina's friend. In Season 2, Eugene's role will be expanded, much like how Bill's backstory was developed in Season 1. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann shared with Variety their enthusiasm for exploring Eugene's character more deeply, noting that it will enhance the narrative around Joel and Ellie's relationship.
Robert John Burke will take on the role of Seth, the bar owner and bigot from The Last of Us Part II, while Noah Lamanna will portray Kat, Ellie's former girlfriend. Meanwhile, Alanna Ubach, Ben Ahlers, and Hettienne Park will introduce new characters to the series, playing Hanrahan, Burton, and Elise Park, respectively.
The new additions join an already impressive lineup including Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Isabela Merced as Dina, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, and Gabriel Luna as Tommy. The showrunners have hinted that the story of The Last of Us Part II will be spread across multiple seasons, promising more surprises as the episodes unfold.
The Last of Us Season 2, adapting the events of The Last of Us Part II, is scheduled to premiere on April 13. For more insights into the upcoming season, you can explore why the show might extend its narrative over four seasons and learn about Neil Druckmann's plans to include some "pretty brutal" cut content from the original game.
