As audiences gear up for the arrival of the menacing Abby, The Last of Us season 2 has found one of her key antagonists with Jeffrey Wright’s Isaac.

Variety has brought word that Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast of The Last of Us season 2. Wright, who previously collaborated with HBO on its Westworld show adaptation, will be reprising his role of Isaac Dixon from Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II, with the character’s show description being “the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but instead has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy.” The Oscar nominee previously teased his potential involvement in the show this past February.
