The esteemed actress from the hit series "Schitt's Creek" has gracefully added her name to the illustrious roster of actors joining the much-acclaimed HBO hit, "The Last of Us." Catherine O'Hara, renowned for her memorable performances in "Schitt's Creek" and "Beetlejuice," is stepping into the apocalyptic realm of the critically acclaimed show in its eagerly awaited second season, taking on an enigmatic role yet to be revealed.
O'Hara joins a burgeoning ensemble of newcomers to this celebrated franchise, including Kaitlyn Dever ("No One Will Save You"), Isabela Merced ("Madame Web"), and Young Mazino ("Beef"). Dever will shine as Abby, a skilled soldier whose black-and-white perspective of the world is challenged as she embarks on a vengeance-fueled journey. Merced will bring to life Dina, described as a freewheeling spirit whose unwavering devotion to Ellie will be tested by the brutality of their harsh new reality. Mazino will portray Jesse, a pillar of his community who selflessly puts the needs of others before his own, often at great personal cost.
"The Last of Us" is a captivating adaptation of the critically acclaimed PlayStation video game, set two decades after the collapse of modern civilization. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is tasked with smuggling Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a resilient 14-year-old girl, out of a oppressive quarantine zone. What begins as a routine mission soon transforms into a grueling and emotionally charged odyssey, as they traverse the treacherous landscape of the United States, relying on each other for survival.
Season two of "The Last of Us" is expected to commence production in the spring, promising a thrilling return to HBO screens in 2025.
