There’s been a lot of speculation about who Catherine O’Hara is playing in The Last of Us season 2 – Esther? Eugene? The Prophet? – and HBO’s recently released teaser trailer seems to have confirmed her role. Most of season 2’s new cast members are confirmed to be playing major roles from The Last of Us Part II, like Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, and Jeffrey Wright reprising his video game role as Isaac Dixon. But since O’Hara’s casting was announced, her character has been kept under wraps.
The teaser for The Last of Us season 2 arrives at the end of a Max 2024-2025 preview that also teases shows like The Penguin, Dune: Prophecy, and The White Lotus season 3. It showcases plenty of exciting sequences from the game, like Abby getting chased by a horde or Ellie fighting clickers in an abandoned subway station. But the teaser is framed by Joel’s confession of what happened at the Fireflies’ hospital – and that framing device seems to confirm O’Hara’s role.
Thank You So Much For Watching!
