Based on Naughty Dog’s hit video game of the same name, The Last of Us centers on a hardened survivor Joel, as he tries to smuggle a teenage girl Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States. Season 2 will reunite us with this duo five years after the events of the first chapter, and see them facing an even more uncertain future in a world infested by zombie-like creatures.
HBO’s new characters posters show Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey facing new challenges as Joel and Ellie, along with Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, who’ll join them as the third main character in Season 2.
The show’s ensemble cast will also include Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny, Jeffrey Wright as Issac, and Catherine O’Hara in a mystery role.
The Last of Us will return to HBO on April 13, and it will feature seven brand-new episodes. The show’s co-creator Craig Mazin previously described them as “high-calorie, dense episodes”, telling Entertainment Weekly “If you consider action and drama and scope to be the things that create an epic nature, each one of these episodes packs quite a wallop. You will not be bored.”

The Last of Us draws inspiration from the video game of the same name, and it sees a hardened survivor Joel trying to smuggle a teenage girl Ellie through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. According to HBO’s official logline, Season 2 will take place five years after the events of the first and see Joel and Ellie “drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.”
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are returning as leads in Season 2, along with Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. She makes an appearance in a new trailer, saying, “It doesn’t matter if you have a code like me. There are just some things everyone agrees are just wrong.”
Season 2 will also star Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, Danny Ramirez, Jeffrey Wright, and Catherine O’Hara. It will premiere on HBO this April, and it’s expected to span seven episodes.
Dever’s heroine Abby was introduced in The Last of Us Part II, as the second playable character alongside Ellie. Her character has been described as “a skilled soldier whose black-and-white view of the world is challenged as she seeks vengeance for those she loved.”
The Last of Us creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann said that their casting process involved looking for world-class actors who embody the souls of the characters in the source material, and Dever perfectly fit the bill.
“Nothing matters more than talent, and we’re thrilled to have an acclaimed performer like Kaitlyn join Pedro, Bella, and the rest of our family,” said the duo in a statement.
Dever had a great track record long before being cast in The Last of Us. In addition to scoring an Emmy nod for her role in Hulu’s mini-series Dopesick, she also appeared in Justified, Last Man Standing, and Unbelievable. Her filmography also includes roles in movies Booksmart, Dear Evan Hansen, Ticket to Paradise, and Short Term 12.
