New Faces Join The Last of Us Season 3: Li Jun Li Takes on a Key Role

Exciting news for fans of The Last of Us! The talented Li Jun Li, known from her role in Sinners, has officially joined the cast for Season 3 of HBO’s hit series. She’ll be portraying Miriam, the mother of the Seraphite siblings, Lev and Yara. This addition is sure to stir things up in the upcoming season, which might be the last for the series.

While Lev and Yara are pivotal characters from The Last of Us Part 2 video game, Miriam is a fresh character created for the show, leaving us curious about her significance in the storyline. For those unfamiliar with Li’s work, she has appeared in various shows like The Following and Fox’s The Exorcist, and her film credits include hits like Ricki and the Flash and Babylon. Soon, you can catch her in Spider-Noir, where she plays Cat Hardy.

Li isn’t the only new face this season; fans can look forward to seeing Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as Manny, Patrick Wilson portraying Jerry, and Jason Ritter as Hanley. Plus, just last month, they cast Michelle Mao as Yara and Kyriana Kratter as Lev, adding even more excitement to the roster.

After giving Ellie, played by returning star Bella Ramsey, her own narrative in Season 2, the spotlight is set to shift to Kaitlyn Dever as Abby in the forthcoming season. If the series sticks closely to the game’s plot, we may witness some thrilling team-ups with Abby, Yara, and Lev in the new episodes.

As for the release date of Season 3, we’re still left waiting for more details. However, fans are hopeful that this concluding season will be longer and packed with even more emotional moments. Stay tuned for updates as we follow this gripping adaptation of one of gaming’s most beloved stories!
