Famous Hollywood actress Catherine O'Hara, known to the audience for her wonderful performance in the classic movie "Beetle Juice", has recently confirmed that she will join the second season of HBO's popular apocalyptic drama series "The Last of Us". According to Variety, after a number of major actors such as Caitlin Dever as Abby and Isabella Mercedes as Tina were confirmed, O'Hara's role is still shrouded in mystery.
Although specific information about what role O'Hara will play in the show has not been revealed at the moment, this has not stopped fans of The Last of Us series from enthusiastic speculation. Given that the second season will be based on the 2020 game The Last of Us 2, there will be a rival faction called "seraphites" (or scars). They believe that the sins committed by humanity due to technological and material pleasures have led to the punishment of cordyceps infection, and believe that this will lead humanity to the path of redemption. The leader of the faction died before the game's events, but due to his exalted status, the Seraphites honored him as the "Prophet" and have since fought against the infected and the militarized Washington Liberation Front (WOLVES) without firearms. The leader shown in the game is an elderly woman with shoulder-length hair, a trait that makes O'Hara a strong contender for the role.
HBO's first-season adaptation not only faithfully presents the original game, but also broadens the horizons to introduce never-before-seen perspectives, such as the discovery of an infection by an Indonesian scientist on the eve of the outbreak, and the birth of Ellie played by Bella Ramsay. Therefore, it is highly likely that the series will give viewers a better understanding of their backgrounds by portraying the two camps of Seraphites and WLF**, after all, in The Last of Us 2, both sides have key characters as protagonists. Regardless of whether O'Hara stars as a Seraphite leader or other character, it is expected that this mysterious figure will appear at some point in the series.
The second season of The Last of Us is expected to land on HBO and MAX platforms in 2025.
