John Goodman, Laura Bailey, and Ian Alexander to Star in HBO's The Last of Us Season 3
Emmy-winning actor John Goodman, prolific voice talent Laura Bailey, and returning star Ian Alexander have been cast in the third (and possibly final) season of HBO’s The Last of Us series.
Emmy-winning actor John Goodman, renowned voice talent Laura Bailey, and returning star Ian Alexander are set to join HBO's third and possibly final season of The Last of Us series. The announcement came on September 26, the same day the Cordyceps infection devastated humanity in the game's universe. This season will feature three major talents, two of whom are making their return.
John Goodman is set to play Joey, a character not present in the original games, while Ian Alexander will portray Paco, a "friendly duo" known as "Heroes of the Highway." Ian Alexander previously played Lev in the second part of the game, a young boy rescued by Abby from the Seraphite cult. Laura Bailey returns to the franchise, voicing Elizabeth, one of the Seraphites' leaders.
Returning actors Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker also reprise their roles, with Johnson playing Ellie's mother and Baker portraying James, a villain from the original games. HBO's CEO Casey Bloys revealed that the showrunner Craig Mazin has planned this as the final season, though the future remains uncertain due to the creator's departure.
