The Last of Us was such a massive hit on HBO. Naughty Dog created a truly cinematic gameplay experience that translated well into a series adaptation. This live-action series was released and gained a following immediately, prompting HBO to order a second season. However, the second season has not had the smoothest start. You can blame the delay in this production on the strikes in Hollywood. But now that the strikes have ended, productions have once again started back up with The Last of Us season two, which is expected to begin filming shortly.
The Last of Us season 2 adds Beef actor to cast

Beef star Young Mazino is set to play Jesse in The Last of Us season 2.
HBO describes the character, who plays a key role in Part 2 of the acclaimed video game, as "a pillar of his community who puts everyone else’s needs before his own, sometimes at terrible cost."
"Young is one of those rare actors who is immediately undeniable the moment you see him," co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann said in a joint statement. "We’re so lucky to have him, and we can’t wait for the audience to see Young shine in our show."
The Last of Us season 2 is set to follow the storyline of The Last of Us Part 2 video game, which fast forwards to an 18-year-old Ellie and her life as an adult following the events of Part 1. Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal will reprise their roles as Ellie and Joel respectively. Kaitlyn Dever is set to play Abby, a major role in Part 2, who makes a decision that alters the course of Ellie's life forever.
Mazino was nominated for the 2023 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Netflix's Beef, in which he plays Paul Cho. He's currently filming Mark Anthony Green's upcoming horror Opus alongside Ayo Edebri, John Malkovich, Murray Bartlett, and Amber Midthunder.

The Last of Us Part 2 almost had a very different ending, according to Remastered commentary
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
