A real storm of emotions is coming. We give you warning. The second season of The Last of Us on HBO Max continues filming and the new signings announced will have a total involvement in the triggering of events: officially, the salt lake panda It is almost complete.
Through its official accounts, HBO Max itself has presented the crew that will accompany Abby (played by Kaitlyn Dever) on her particular trip to Jackson, the small town in Wyoming where we left Ellie and Joel at the end of the first season. . We knew the names of the characters and now also who will give them life on the small screen.
For a quick (and necessary) review Peter Pascal and Bella Ramsey They will reprise their respective roles as Joel and Ellie, two survivors in a world punished by a pandemic spread through a parasitic fungus. However, the most dangerous beings in this new world order are not the infected, but the cruelest and most desperate face of those who dare to consider themselves human.
And if in the first season these concepts were explored along with the feeling of attachment, in the second batch of episodes – without giving any clues – it will begin to cook the feeling of revenge. In a way, the addition of the Salt Lake panda to the plot will be one of the triggers for the events. We had Abby as the third protagonist, and now we know who will follow her path and what faces they have:
- Spencer Lordwhom we met in Family Law and Heartland, will play Owen Moore.
- Danny Ramirez (Fanboy in Top Gun: Maverick) will play Emanuel Álvarez, better known as Manny
- Tati Gabriellenot only does she voice Willow in Owl House and has been one of the protagonists of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrinabut will play Nora Harris
- Last but not least, Ariela Barer who participated in Runaways from Marvel, will play Mel. Of which a surname has not been given.
As a curious fact, Naughty Dog fans will be in for a surprise with the signing of Tati Gabrielle: PlayStation Productions has already signed her for the Uncharted movie, playing Jo Braddock. In the end everything stays at home.
Who are the Salt Lake Panda?
Without going into more details than necessary, the Salt Lake group is a division made up of former fireflies who, at a key moment in the infested pandemic, ended up joining the Washington Liberation Front.
Thus, after a series of complex missions, and as a reward for her services, the leaders rewarded Abigail Anderson (Abby) and allowed her to carry out a personal search with the rest of the group that, due to circumstances of fate, will end up leading them to a harsh winter in Wyoming.

The second season of The Last of Us for HBO is based on the events of the video game The Last of Us Part II. However, as it is being designed, two seasons or more will be necessary to cover the events. And it is not unreasonable that this same universe will end up expanding through additional episodes. After all, both Naughty Dog itself, developer of the saga, and Neil Druckmann are completely invested in the adaptation.
For their part, and after overcoming the strikes of Hollywood actors and scriptwriters, the machinery of film and television production companies is already operating at full speed: filming and production of the second season of The Last of Us on HBO Max They are taking shape and their premiere is expected to arrive in 2025. Can't you wait that long to find out what will happen? You may be interested to know that PS5 started this year offering a remaster of the sequel. There is no stitching without thread here.
