The Last of Us season three casts Abby's father

Two more cast members have been confirmed to be joining the cast of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation.

As reported by Deadline, Patrick Wilson is set to join The Last of Us for the show's third season. Wilson will portray Abby's father, Jerry, a supporting but pivotal character from The Last of Us Part 2.

Wilson has had an expansive career across film, stage and TV, with a number of award nominations to his name. His other credits include The A-Team, The Conjuring, Fargo and Girls (pictured below), to name a few.

Meanwhile, casting Wilson as Abby's father is, I have to say, some pretty spot on casting. Seeing the two side-by-side is quite something (see header image above).

Also joining the cast for the show's third season is Jason Ritter, who will play Hanley, a WLF soldier.

Wilson and Ritter will be joining Kaityln Dever's Abby and Bella Ramsey's Ellie for the upcoming season.

Last year, Neil Druckmann announced he was stepping back from the series after The Last of Us season two, in order to focus on Naughty Dog's gaming output, which includes Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Druckmann had previously worked on The Last of Us' adaptation as a co-showrunner, director, writer and producer. While he's returned to full-time video game development, Druckmann has since said he will remain somewhat involved in The Last of Us' adaptation at a "very high level" to make sure it's "as deeply faithful" as the show's first season was.

As for the future of the series, it is currently suspected the upcoming third season will be its last. Since then, it was announced Clea DuVall and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. will both join The Last of Us for the show's upcoming season.
