Veteran film and television actress Catherine O’Hara has officially joined the cast of the HBO series “The Last of Us” for the upcoming second season. However, producers are keeping her exact role under wraps for now, merely stating that O’Hara will portray a currently unnamed character.

O’Hara will be appearing alongside several other noteworthy cast additions. These include Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, a soldier who grapples with shifting moral codes while seeking vengeance, Isabela Merced portraying Dina, the steadfast partner of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) who provides emotional support amidst hardship, and Young Mazino as Jesse, a leader in his community known for selfless sacrifice.

“The Last of Us,” adapted from the popular PlayStation video game, depicts a post-apocalyptic future twenty years after modern society’s destruction. The first season followed gruff survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) as he takes on a smuggling job escorting teenager Ellie from a repressive quarantine zone, only for the mission to transform into a harrowing cross-country ordeal.

While O’Hara’s mystery role fuels anticipation amongst fans, further details remain undisclosed. Production for season two will begin this spring, with new episodes expected to arrive on HBO in 2025. Until then, viewers eagerly speculate about what unique presence the versatile O’Hara will bring to the show’s gritty world.
