HBO's popular drama The Last of Us, which is based on Naughty Dog's video game series, returns for its second season on April 13.

But who is starring in Season 2 and what roles do they play? In this post, we're rounding up the cast for Season 2, which includes returning players like Pedro Pascal (Joel) and Bella Ramsey (Ellie), along with a variety of newcomers for the sophomore season. The newcomer list is headed up by Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, a central character in Season 2.
Read on to see all of the confirmed cast so far. Season 2 airs Sunday, April 13, and there are seven episodes in all. Seasons 3 and 4 are expected to come later on.
