With the debut season now at a close, Craig Mazin reveals that The Last of Us season 2 won't recast Ellie actor Bella Ramsey for the story's time jump. The first season of the HBO show largely adapted the events of the original game, following Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie as they travelled across a post-apocalyptic America to reach a group of survivors who could use the latter's immunity to the Cordyceps infection as an antidote.
Craig Mazin: So, one of the things about the casting process that's tough is that we invite people to join us on this process, and we know everything, and nobody else knows anything, except what they know, which is the game. But we know what we're going to do in terms of costume and makeup and hair, but more importantly, we also know the spirit and soul of the actor.

Neil_Druckmann Ugh bro cmon. She was good but we need someone else. It takes place years after the first game.
Neil_Druckmann 5 years is a bit of a time jump, but nothing too crazy. No reason to recast at all.
