Rumors related to the casting of young Riley in the upcoming The Last of Us series, which appeared last night, have been officially confirmed today. A young actress was indeed hired for the mentioned role Storm Reid (Euphoria, A Wrinkle in Time, The Suicide Squad)
Deadline has today exclusively confirmed that the 18-year-old American actress will join the already famous cast led by Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Anna Torv and Gabriel Luna, and that she will appear in an episodic role as Riley Abel, Ellie’s friend who we met in Left Behind standalone expansion. The same news was soon confirmed by The Last of Us director Neil Druckmann, who is also working intensively on this HBO series.

Given the timeline from the gaming series, Ried’s engagement means that flashbacks or a prologue await us during the series, so it will certainly be interesting to see what the screenwriters of the series came up with. Release date sometimes closer to the end of 2022 (United States)
