The Last of Us, the successful adaptation of the video games of the same name, will be joined by a number of new actors and actresses for its second season. Four new cast members have joined Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann‘s series, playing characters from the video game The Last of Us 2.
Danny Ramirez, known for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, has been cast as Manny, a loyal soldier “whose sunny outlook belies the pain of old wounds and a fear that he will fail his friends when they need him most.” Ariela Barer (Runaways, Rebel) will play Mel, “a young doctor whose commitment to saving lives is challenged by the realities of war and tribalism”. Tati Gabrielle, previously seen on The 100 and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, will play Nora, “a military medic struggling to come to terms with the sins of her past”. Finally, Spencer Lord will play Owen, “a gentle soul trapped in a warrior’s body, condemned to fight an enemy he refuses to hate”.
These actors and actresses won’t be the only new faces joining The Last of Us Season 2, as it was previously confirmed that Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced and Young Mazino will play Abby, Dina and Jesse. Catherine O’Hara will also guest star in an undisclosed role.
