The Last of Us season two is something a lot of us are already looking forward to, and now Naughty Dog boss and co-creator Neil Druckmann is starting to amp up the buzz by dropping little tidbits – like the introduction of a new backstory for an “important character” in season two.
Druckman spoke about the reveal as part of an interview with Variety, where he was quoted saying:
And there’s stuff in this season that I’m really excited about – stuff that we hinted at – one scene in particular comes to mind that I think fans of the game will eat up, because it really kind of tells you a lot of backstory of this important character that there wasn’t really a way for us to even do that in the game.
So, that’s interesting. Those who have played the game may already be able to start speculating on this one – unfortunately, although I completed the first one, I got far too busy by the time the sequel was released… and I’ve been busy since.
But enough woe is me.
The other thing I’m excited about for season two is the introduction of Catherine O’Hara who’ll be guest starring in a ‘secret role’ – again, people who’ve played the game might be able to speculate what that is… or not. Iono.
Starring alongside returning cast Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, and Rutina Wesley will be Jeffrey Wright in role of Isaac, along with Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, and Danny Ramirez as Manny.
