Recently, fans of The Last of Us received news regarding new actors who will be in the upcoming season 2. Even though Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will be there, there is a rising talent-Noah Lamanna-that surprised everyone due to the role he will play. Officially, Season 2 of The Last of Us has begun, and as anticipated, it has done it spectacularly.  During the first episode, the typical main characters, such as Emmy-nominated actors Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, made an amazing comeback.

However, new characters have already been introduced in Season 2. Kat, who has connections to Ellie, is introduced to us toward the end of episode 201. MovieWeb recently spoke with rising talent Noah Lamanna (Dream Scenario), who plays Kat, to find out more about the opening of the second season of HBO’s acclaimed post-apocalyptic series.

Noah Lamanna praised the show for its action-packed, intrigue-filled plot, stating that it leaves viewers hungry for more context about Kat’s character, their relationship, and the uncomfortable situation they face. The show leaves them with interesting questions about the future and the potential for change in their lives. Overall, 201 offers a thrilling and engaging experience. With so many unanswered mysteries, Noah Lamanna also hinted at what the remainder of the much-awaited second season might hold:

“There is a lot that I am looking forward to seeing.  Everything about this show is kept under wraps, so there’s a lot I don’t know.  So I’m incredibly excited to see the second season as a viewer, with the extra pleasure of seeing all of my friends perform amazing work on the program. But I believe the magnitude of this season, you know, if you were impressed by the scale of the first season, prepare to be twice as impressed by the scale of this season. It’s quite remarkable.”

Based on what we saw in the first episode of Season 2, Kat, played by Noah Lamanna, has a close relationship with Ellie, and they share some memorable on-screen moments. Lamanna told us about her experience working with the Game of Thrones star and the rest of The Last of Us cast. Bella is very charming, grounded, and well-rounded. I’m not sure how they manage to be so successful at such a young age, but they’re really pleasant, relaxed, and kind,” Lamanna added. The cast as a whole was very friendly and encouraging. In a way, it was a productive place to work.

What additional roles will Noah Lamana play?

Ty Doran and Noah Lamanna have been cast in the third season of the popular Netflix comedy Ginny & Georgia. The 33-year-old Lamanna and the Manifest actor will play recurring parts in the next season, according to Deadline. The 26-year-old Doran will portray Wolfe, a relaxed man who despises poetry and attends Ginny’s poetry class. An extremely intelligent skateboarder who is friends with Marcus and Silber will be portrayed by the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor.

The returning cast, which includes Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentry, who have documented the complex mother-daughter relationship between Ginny and Georgia, has been joined by the two recently announced performers. Ginny & Georgia, written by Sarah Lampert, is about Georgia Miller, her teenage daughter Ginny Miller, and her youngest son Austin as they relocate to a Massachusetts town to start over when Georgia’s husband dies. Ginny struggles with the stunning discovery that her mother is a killer in the second season, faced with the fact that Georgia killed her stepfather, Kenny, to protect her, even though he didn’t pass away naturally.
