actress reveals start of filming for Season 2

Present at the Madame Teia launch event, actress Isabela Merced, who plays Anya Corazon in the film and will also be Dina in the second season of the series The Last of Us, spoke about the work on the HBO production. In an interview with Deadline, she revealed that filming has already started and even gave a spoiler that we will have news on the cast.

“The stars are truly aligning. I've had several friends that I've worked with in this industry for a long time join. I can't tell who just joined. But he is incredible, future superstar, or rather, he is already a superstar in my eyes,” she commented.

The work is still in its infancy, but Merced is already full of praise for the group he is working with. She refers to Abby's Kaitlyn Dever as one of the most talented people she's ever shared the screen with, and calls The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin a “monster.” In a good way, of course.

“We had a day of filming for me as Dina and I have to say: we killed it, I’m not going to lie. I was a huge fan of the second game. I played it in, like, a weekend. And of course I wondered, how will this translate to TV. Craig Mazin is one of the most brilliant people, in fact I think a genius. I'm sure if they did a test they would find out it's true. And he has a way of bringing these characters to life that no one could simply create in such a short amount of time. I love him. He’s incredible,” he added.
