HBO and Sony’s The Last of Us television adaptation continues to swell its cast, with Euphoria’s Storm Reid now set to guest star in the role of Ellie’s one-time best friend Riley Abel.
Fans of the game series will know Riley from her 2014 appearance in acclaimed DLC episode The Last of Us: Left Behind, where she was voiced by Yaani King. Here, in narrative segment set several weeks prior to the main game, Riley reunites with her old friend Ellie, completing a narrative arc that begun in comic book prequel The Last of US: American Dream.
