Storm Reid Has Been Cast As Riley in HBO’s ‘THE LAST OF US’ Series

Storm Reid will join HBO’s The Last of Us series adaptation, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. She will guest star as Riley Abel. She is an orphaned girl growing up in post-apocalyptic Boston.

The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed by a deadly virus. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone to the Fireflies, a cure-searching organization. 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.

The cast also features Anna Torv, voice actress Merle Dandrige, Nick Offerman, Nico Parker, Gabriel Luna, Jeffrey Pierce and Murray Bartlett.
