It’s looking like we’ll be learning more about Bill Skarsgård’s “The Kid” on Hulu’s “Castle Rock” this week, a mysterious character who first arrived in the town… 27 years ago.

Hmm, that little tidbit from last week still has us thinking.

This week, Skarsgård’s IT co-star Chosen Jacobs returns to the Stephen King universe as Wendell Deaver, the son of Henry Deaver. Jacobs played Mike Hanlon in last year’s IT. 

In this Wednesday’s brand new episode, titled ‘Filter’:

“Henry’s son visits from Boston; a funeral stirs up unsettling memories.”

Filming on “The Last of Us” Season 2 is underway, and Variety reports that Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast as Isaac, the character he voiced in The Last of Us Part II video game.

The character is described as “the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy.”

Following a record-breaking first season as the most-watched debut season of a series ever for HBO, the second season will debut in 2025 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

Season 2 returning cast includes Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, and Rutina Wesley as Maria. New cast includes Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, and Danny Ramirez as Manny.

Catherine O’Hara also guest stars in “The Last of Us” Season 2.

The lineup of directors for Season 2 includes Mark Mylod (“Succession,” The Menu) alongside Nina Lopez-Corrado (Perry Mason), Stephen Williams (Watchmen) and Kate Herron (Loki). They join returning directors Peter Hoar, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.

The second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” will adapt video game sequel The Last of Us Part II, but don’t expect the game’s events to be contained to just one season. It’s likely that the sequel’s sprawling, multi-character story will span the timeline of at least two seasons.

HBO’s “The Last of Us” takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
