HBO’s Live Action The last of us The series is currently filming its second season. Casting news for your own version The Last of Us Part II was gradually introduced, with Nobody can save youKaitlyn Dever joins the series as co-protagonist AbbyAnd Madam Webis Isabela Merced and beefYoung Mazino plays Ellie’s friends ignoble And Jesse, respectively. Now we have four more casting announcements to join Abby’s circle of friends from the Seattle settlement – specifically Owen, Mel, Nora and Manny.
The announcement initially came from Max’s social media accountswith a diversity Story confirming the roles. Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick) becomes Abby’s promiscuous roommate and best friend Manny, Tati Gabrielle (You) will play Washington Liberation Front medic Nora, and Ariela Barer and Spencer Lord round out the Seattle crew as Mel and Owen, the other corners of Abby’s love triangle. This still leaves some of Abby’s friends, including Jordan, Nick and Leah, without known actors. But now that casting is focused on Abby’s friends instead of Ellie’s friends, these announcements are likely to follow – unless these characters are written off the series entirely.
Anyone who played The Last of Us Part II knows that these people are Ellie’s targets on a revenge journey that takes her from her home in Jackson, Wyoming, to the war zone of post-apocalyptic Seattle. It’s currently unclear what parts of this story we’ll see in season two, as showrunner Craig Mazin said the events of Part II will likely span several seasons. I’m still waiting for confirmation on who will play Lev (I would love to see Ian Alexander reprise her role) but considering how Part IIThe story is structured, I would imagine he won’t show up until a third season if the second season ends where I think it will. So it may be that this news is still about a year away.
The first season of The last of us has won numerous awards, including Pedro Pascal won for his role as Joel at the SAG Awards.
