THE LAST OF US Hires SINNERS Actress Li Jun Li to Appear in Season 3
Li Jun Li (Damages, Based On a True Story, Sinners) has joined the Season 3 cast of HBO‘s The Last Of Us. The actress will play Mirium, a Seraphite who is Lev and Yara’s mother. As previously announced, Bridgerton‘s Michelle Mao and Kyriana Kratter will play Yara and Lev, respectively.
Based on Naughty Dog’s award-winning video game, The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
Season 2 picked up five years after the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie are drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind. Season 3, which will be an adaption of the second half of the Part II game, shifts the focus to the story of Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever.
Li will next be seen opposite Nicolas Cage in the live-action series Spider-Noir, set for a May 27th release on Prime Video.
