The Last Of Us Season 2 Introduces its Jesse

Kaitlyn Dever has been confirmed as Abby in The Last of Us Season 2 and now HBO has announced that Young Mazino, known for Netflix's Beef, will be playing the role of Jesse in the upcoming season. Naughty Dog expressed their excitement for Mazino's casting, stating "We're so excited for Young Mazino to step into the shoes of Jesse."

Fans of The Last of Us: Part II are excited to see Jesse, a new character in the sequel, joining forces with Ellie on her mission for vengeance.

Mazino is now part of the Season 2 cast, alongside Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning as Joel and Ellie, and Dever reprising her role as Abby.

Pascal, the actor, recently suffered a broken arm, but he is undergoing surgery soon and is confident he will be ready for filming when Season 2 begins in February. The second season is set to premiere in 2025.

In gaming news, The Last of Us: Part II Remastered is set to be released for PS5 on January 19, with preorders currently open. Additionally, Naughty Dog's plans for a Last of Us online game have been canceled, and the studio is now refocusing on single-player games, leading many to anticipate the potential development of The Last of Us: Part III.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the casting of Young Mazino as Jesse in the upcoming second season of HBO's The Last of Us. Jesse is a beloved character from the game, and I can't wait to see how Mazino brings him to life. I'm also excited to see the dynamic between Jesse and Ellie, as they are two of the most complex and interesting characters in the game.

The news of Kaitlyn Dever being cast as Abby in Season 2 is also exciting. Abby is a controversial character, but she is also one of the most well-developed and nuanced characters in the game. I'm confident that Dever will do an amazing job portraying Abby and bringing her to life on screen.
