Naughty Dog contacted actor and YouTuber Cascina Caradonna to serve as a face model for the character. Dina was voiced by Westworldactor Shannon Woodward - who, coincidentally, was the one who first introduced Druckmann and Mazin. It’ll likely be a while before we know for certain.

So did we just meet the actor who will be playing Dina in season 2? The girl who Ellie accosts in the cafeteria is only credited as “staring girl,” and is played by Paolina van Cleef. Here’s everything you need to know.Ī post shared by paolina hernandez van kleef plays Dina in The Last of Us season 2? If you were one of those people who shouted “wait, was that Dina?!” at your television on Sunday night, or perhaps you’ve just heard rumblings about Dina’s cameo and want to know what the deal is, you’re in the right place. And none of them was bigger than a surprise appearance by none other than Dina, Ellie’s future love interest. “Kin” included some pointed references to The Last of Us Part II. The team behind the show made a conscious choice to explore the Jackson settlement proper in the episode, which makes a lot of sense considering how central it is to The Last of Us Part II video game. We never really see Jackson up close in the first The Last of Us game by Naughty Dog, which came out in 2013 in the game, the scenes from Episode 6 mostly take place at a nearby dam that powers the town. They have greenhouses, electricity, strong defenses, nice houses, even Christmas trees and movie nights.

While the outside world is full of horror, the Jackson settlement is the closest thing to a functional society we’ve seen yet in the series. The latest episode of HBO’s The Last of Us, “Kin,”introduced viewers to an important new location for the series: the survivor settlement at Jackson, Wyoming.
