The Last of Us season 2has added another actor to its cast – just a month before filming is due to begin.
As per HBO, Isabela Merced is set to portray the role of Dina. No spoilers here for those who haven’t played the game sequel, but she’ll factor heavily into the story of the season and will share several scenes with Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as she sets out on a quest for revenge.
Fan speculationran wildduring the sixth episode ofThe Last of Us season 1when Ellie and Joel (Pedro Pascal) traveled to Jackson and, in one scene, Ellie briefly spots a girl staring at her from across the room. For some, it was an early sighting of Dina – a character who will go on to have a significant impact on Ellie’s life.
Merced joins a handful of newcomers announced recently, including Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart)as Abbyand Young Mazino (Beef)as Jesse.
