HBO and PlayStation have found their Isaac for The Last of Us Season 2, and it’s Jeffrey Wright, the actor behind the voice of Isaac in The Last of Us Part II. Wright, known for his roles like The Watcher in Marvel’s What If…? and Commissioner Gordon in The Batman, will return to Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic world to reprise his role as Isaac.

HBO announced Wright’s casting with a post on X (formerly Twitter) which you can see below:

The news of Wright’s casting comes shortly after the first look at Pedro Pascal’s Joel and Bella Ramsey’s Ellie in The Last of Us Season 2.

New Cast Additions

Wright joins several other newcomers in the series, set to premiere next year. Kaitlyn Dever from Booksmart will play Abby, while Young Mazino joins as Jesse. Additionally, Manny, Mel, Nora, and Owen will be played by Danny Ramirez, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, and Spencer Lord, respectively.

We won’t spoil these characters’ roles in The Last of Us Part II, which is likely to match their roles in HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2.

Anticipation for Season 2

Fans eagerly await the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us following the success of the first season, which covered events from the first game and its DLC. The show quickly confirmed a second season, set to premiere next year.

The first season was well-received, and viewers stuck around for the entire season. The series garnered several Emmy awards, solidifying its success.
