HBO’s The Last of Us is facing criticism after announcing new casting for its third season. Actors Michelle Mao and Kyriana Kratter will play siblings Yara and Lev. In the original game, Lev is a 13-year-old trans boy. Some fans have raised concerns that Kratter, a cisgender actress, was cast in the role. Online reactions have been mixed, with some viewers expressing disappointment, while others added that the decision could impact the show’s reputation. Season three will feature returning cast members Bella Ramsey, Isabela Merced, Kaitlyn Dever, Gabriel Luna, and Jeffrey Wright, along with Clea DuVall, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Ritter, and Patrick Wison.
