John Goodman Joins The Last Of Us Season 3 — But Who Is He Playing?

John Goodman is set to reprise his role in the upcoming third season of HBO's video game adaptation, "The Last of Us." The announcement was made on September 26, a significant date in the show's lore marking the beginning of the cordyceps outbreak. Goodman will be joined by Ian Alexander and Laura Bailey, who will portray Joey, Paco, and Elizabeth respectively.

Together, the trio are known as the "Heroes of the Highway." Laura Bailey, who previously voiced Abby in "The Last of Us: Part II," and Ian Alexander, who voiced Lev, will bring their previous game characters to life in the series. Other notable additions to the cast include Jason Ritter, Patrick Wilson, Clea DuVall, and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. The season will be solely led by co-creator Craig Mazin, replacing Neil Druckmann who stepped down at the end of Season 2.
