Merle Dandridge returned as Marlene in season 1, so Wright's casting is not the first time a performer from the game returned for the program. Although most of The Last of Us cast members are not from the games, actors playing ongoing roles show it is not out of the reach of possibilities. The fact that the Issac actor has strong ties to another newcomer about to be revealed in Season 2 makes his presence more intriguing.
Issac leads the Washington Liberation Front in The Last of Us Part II, a group of survivors who toppled FEDRA in Seattle and adopted Abby, a fresh game protagonist. Originally allies, he soon turns into an enemy as the new playable character battles with him and finally turns against him. His group is one of the main colonies brought in as the narrative develops, hence his presence is crucial all of the game. He is also really strong, hence occasionally he poses a threat.
New set pictures from The Last of Us Season 2 include a returning voice actor from the Video Game in the same capacity, reprised for the live-action TV series. With an eye toward Ellie and her character growth going ahead, The Last of Us Part II, the second game in the franchise, will be the focal point of season 2 adaptation. Actor Jeffrey Wright was originally mentioned to be returning as Issac Dixon from the source material, but the characters in the TV series have been reinterpreted from the game.
CaptCanuck66 has now shared pictures of Wright on the set for The Last of Us season 2, in uniform and primed to return as Issac. The pictures show him sporting a more militaristic uniform and another person on set apparently taunting his gang from the games. Given the seasoned actor returning to the part, gamers who tune in will likely find his performance highly familiar.
Based on the highly praised video game The Last of Us created by Naughty Dog, the TV series chronicles twenty years after a parasitic fungus epidemic wrecks havoc worldwide transforming mankind into zombie-like beings. Only to find she might be the key to finding a cure, Joel (Pedro Pascal) volunteers to smuggle a 14-year-old girl called Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of a quarantine area. One of the original creators, Neil Druckmann, and the producer of the HBO series Chernobyl get together to create the Last of Us TV series.
The story of the show will captivate and enthrall its viewers. It is hardly surprising that the second season will build on the several layers of the program. The show will draw fresh viewers and provide fans more to look forward.
Wright's Issac will play a significant part with The Last of Us season 2 introducing game characters that will become somewhat well-known throughout the next episodes. Since Part II will need more than one season to be completely adapted, it's unknown how long he'll be in the season. Still, his comeback is a portent of things to come for the show, also suggesting just how faithfully authentic it will be to the original material.
On HBO and Max in 2025 the Second of Us season arrives.
