The Last of Us season 2 is finally on screens, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey reprising their roles of Joel and Ellie as they adjust to town living after Joel saved Ellie from the Fireflies.
But alongside returning cast members Gabriel Luna (Tommy) and Rutina Wesley (Maria), we have been introduced to a whole host of new faces too, and the majority of them are very recognisable.
So, where have you seen Dina, Abby, Jesse and the rest of the new The Last of Us cast before?
