Catherine O’Hara makes her debut

The first Last of Us season introduced new characters who weren’t part of the games, and it seems like season two may be following suit with Schitt’s Creek actor Catherine O’Hara’s character. We don’t know her name at this time, but she appears to be Joel’s therapist. She is shown asking him if he “hurt” Ellie, which he denies, claiming he “saved” her during the first season’s finale when he killed members of the Firefly resistance group planning to kill her to make a vaccine. The next few seasons will most likely be unpacking that viewpoint from multiple perspectives.
