HBO's highly anticipated *The Last of Us* Season 2 is rounding out its star-studded cast with six new names ahead of its premiere in April. As reported by Variety, these additions bring both returning characters from the original games and entirely new faces to the series.
Joe Pantoliano, known for his roles in *Memento* and *The Matrix*, will portray Eugene, a minor yet memorable character from *The Last of Us Part II*. Eugene’s expanded storyline mirrors the deepened exploration of Bill in Season 1, offering viewers a richer understanding of his connection to Joel and Ellie. Showrunner Neil Druckmann expressed excitement over this development, noting that the character’s background will provide deeper insight into the protagonists' dynamic.
Robert John Burke has been cast as Seth, the bar owner from *The Last of Us Part II*. Meanwhile, Noah Lamanna will play Kat, who reportedly dated Ellie prior to the events of the game. Alanna Ubach, Ben Ahlers, and Hettienne Park will introduce new characters named Hanrahan, Burton, and Elise Park, respectively.
These additions join the existing cast, including Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Isabela Merced as Dina, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, and Gabriel Luna as Tommy. According to the showrunners, the adaptation will continue the story of *The Last of Us Part II* across multiple seasons, teasing even more surprises down the line.
