The Last of Us Season 3 Casts Peter Sarsgaard as an Original Character, Unseen in the Games
Peter Sarsgaard will play original character Amon as fans question whether the series can stay faithful after major creative changes.
- On Thursday, June 11, 2026, Deadline reported that Peter Sarsgaard will join HBO's The Last of Us Season 3, playing Amon, a recurring leader of the extremist group the Seraphites.
- Unlike established characters, Amon is an entirely original creation not appearing in the video games, while the Seraphites will see their lore explored in detail as they battle the WLF for control of Seattle.
- Sarsgaard, known for roles in 'Dopesick' and 'The Batman', joins an ensemble that includes Kyriana Kratter and Michelle Mao, having previously worked with Abby actor Kaitlyn Dever during the acclaimed miniseries.
- Production for the third season is currently on a four-week break because the Vancouver filming schedule coincides with the FIFA World Cup, with crews set to resume work on June 28.
- Season 3 will adapt the second half of 'The Last of Us Part II', shifting the narrative focus to Abby's perspective as the story centers on the conflict between the WLF and the Seraphites.
