Since its debut in 2023, The Last of Us has become one of the most popular HBO series of the past decade, and is widely considered to be one the best video game adaptation of all time. As Joel and Ellie’s journey across the American zombie-scape continues, you may have recognised some of the cast members from other TV series and films—whether it’s Pedro Pascal in Game of Thrones or Catherine O’Hara in Beetlejuice. With season 2 now underway, if you want to find out where you can watch all the movies and TV series starring the cast of The Last of Us, check out our handy streaming guide below.
Pedro Pascal - Joel
Pedro Pascal is one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood, and has packed quite the emotional punch as the tough yet vulnerable Joel in The Last of Us. Although he’s been in the film industry since the mid ‘90s, he got his first big break with a memorable appearance in Game of Thrones Season 4 as Oberyn Martel. Although his character arc wrapped up quickly and incredibly violently, the character made a lasting impression in both life and death, and it wasn’t long before Pascal was back on screens, this time starring as DEA agent Javier Peña in all three seasons of Netflix’s hit series Narcos.
Although he mostly remains masked throughout, you might recognise Pascal’s signature charisma from The Mandalorian where he plays the bounty hunter Din Djarin, or from his role in Gladiator II opposite Paul Mescal as General Acacius. Pascal is now set to step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Mr Fantastic in two big upcoming superhero films: Avengers: Doomsday and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Bella Ramsey - Ellie
Bella Ramsey continues to impress as the fungus-immune Ellie on The Last of Us. You may recognise the young actor from their commanding breakthrough performance as the noblewoman Lyanna Mormont on Game of Thrones seasons 6 through 8. Ramsey is also known for their role as Mildred Hubble in the television adaptation of The Worst Witch, and in Lena Dunham’s 2022 medieval comedy Catherine Called Birdy where they star as Birdy.
Kaitlyn Dever - Abby
On The Last of Us, Kaitlyn Dever plays Abby, one of the few survivors after Joel’s Firefly purge. While Abby is one of the series’ prime villains who has it in for Joel, Dever gives the character a deeply human feel. You may recognise Dever from her breakout role as rebellious teen Loretta McCready on Justified. She also played the youngest daughter, Eve Baxter, in Last Man Standing, and starred as Marie Adler, the young victim of an assault who is accused of lying about the crime, in the Netflix miniseries Unbelievable. Most recently, she starred in the dramatisation of wellness scammer Belle Gibson’s downfall in Apple Cider Vinegar.
Gabriel Luna - Tommy
Gabriel Luna plays Joel’s younger brother Tommy on The Last of Us. Tommy’s selflessness and idealism often conflict with Joel’s more isolationist instincts, but the two brothers share an unbreakable bond. You may recognise Luna from his role as Robbie Reyes (aka Ghost Rider) in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as Boro in the action-comedy series starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, FUBAR. Luna first starred opposite Schwarzenegger as the deadly villain Rev-9 in Terminator: Dark Fate.
Young Mazino - Jesse
Young Mazino is a relative newcomer to the industry, and his role as Jesse in The Last of Us marks his second major career break. Jesse is one of the members of the community in Jackson, Wyoming. Although Mazino’s backcatalogue is still thin, you may recognise him from his performance as Paul, Danny’s aimless younger brother in the hit Netflix series Beef.
Isabela Merced - Dina
Isabela Merced first appears in season 2 of The Last of Us as Ellie’s badass best friend and love interest, Dina. You may recognise Merced from her lead role as CJ Martin in the Nickelodeon series 100 Things to Do Before High School. She later went on to appear as Isabel Reyes in the action-thriller Sicario: Day of the Soldado, in Madame Web as the superhero Anya Corazón, and in Alien: Romulus as the pregnant crewmember Kay Harrison.
Rutina Wesley - Maria
Rutina Wesley plays Maria, Tommy’s wife and one of the co-leaders of the community in Jackson. Wesley is mostly known for her multiseason role as Tara Thornton, Sookie’s best friend, in the HBO vampire series True Blood. You might also recognise her as Nova Bordelon on the drama series Queen Sugar, Reba McClane in the third season of Hannibal, and from short appearances in both The Walking Dead and Arrow.
Catherine O'Hara - Gail
One of the biggest names in the cast, Catherine O’Hara has made her mark on many beloved comedy classics over her decades long career. On The Last of Us, O’Hara plays Gail, a character invented for the series who lives in Jackson and, while grieving herself, acts as Joel’s therapist. You may recognise O’Hara from her role as Delia Deetz in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice and its sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, or as the mother in the Home Alone films. She also showed off her comedic chops as Cookie Fleck in the dog show mockumentary Best in Show, and as the eccentric Moira Rose in the sitcom Schitt’s Creek.
Robert John Burke - Seth
Robert John Burke plays Seth, a bar owner and member of the Jackson community on The Last of Us. Burke is most well known for his role as Bart Bass, Chuck’s father in Gossip Girl. You might also recognise him as the Internal Affairs Bureau captain Ed Tucker on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and as Officer Alex Murphy (aka RoboCop) in RoboCop 3.
Tati Gabrielle - Nora
Tati Gabrielle plays Nora, a military medic with a dark past who is part of Abby’s crew in the second season of The Last of Us. Gabrielle has featured in quite a few popular series already, and you may recognise her as Gaia in the CW sci-fi series The 100, or Prudence in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, or as Marienne Bellamy, one of Joe's obsessions, on seasons 3 and 4 of You. She also starred as Hannah Kim in Netflix’s hit heist series Kaleidoscope.
Ariela Barer - Mel
Ariela Barer joins the cast of The Last of Us in season 2 as Mel, a young doctor attached to Abby’s crew. As another relative newcomer to the industry, Barer’s role in The Last of Us marks one of her biggest parts to date. However, you may recognise her as Gert Yorkes in the Marvel superhero series Runaways, as the struggling adopted daughter Ziggy in the legal dramedy Rebel, or as main character Xochitl in the social justice action-thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline.
Spencer Lord - Owen
Spencer Lord plays Owen, one of Abby’s allies and Mel’s boyfriend on The Last of Us. Lord is another relative newcomer, but you may recognise him from smaller roles he’s played like Terry in the Archie comics series Riverdale, the rancher Nathan Pryce Jr on Heartland, a young patient named Ryan on The Good Doctor, and the firefighter Aiden on Family Law.
Danny Ramirez - Manny
Danny Ramirez takes on the role of Manny in The Last of Us. Manny is one of the few survivors of Joel’s massacre of the Fireflies, and his sunny disposition masks the deep pain he harbors after losing so many friends. Ramirez is another up-and-comer in the industry, but you might recognise him as Wes in Fox’s superhero series The Gifted, or as Mario Martinez in the coming-of-age series On My Block. More recently, Ramirez has appeared in big blockbusters including Top Gun: Maverick as Lieutenant Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia, and as Joaquin Torres (aka Falcon) in the MCU’s Captain America: Brave New World—a role he will reprise in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
