Please don’t shoot me, but I haven’t played either game, but isn’t Joel Jewish? A bit of googling shows that Naughty Dog’s Holiday cards show characters from their games with different religious symbols on their jumpers, and Joel has a menorah hence the theory he’s Jewish. But there’s nothing in the games that indicates this. He has a few lines like “Oh Lord” kind of thing which are not would Jews would say, but suspect that was just writing without any real thought behind it. |

I guess as with most video game protagonists it’s left fairly un developed so the player can relate more. Leisure Suit Larry being the exception… |

Not sure where I got that from. I mean, he COULD be Jewish… |

Yeah I’d probably avoid that line of logic.

Ok that’s my mistake. I thought he was a take on the lovable but nerdy Jewish singleton as played by Woody Allen and so on.

Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) cast in an undisclosed role. Off the top of my head I can’t think of anyone obvious, so maybe an original character?

Possibly the Seraphite prophet?

Maybe they'll introduce the Seraphite leader as a character, be a good way to tell the way she became a prophet and introduce Isaac.

Jeffrey Wright confirmed for season 2. That would make sense seeing as he was the VA for Isaac. |

Season 2 7 Episodes. Possibly doing 4 seasons now instead of 3.
Guessing they are holding out for TLoU 3?

Only a brief snippet, but it's looking ace as you'd probably expect.

Let’s see if they do “the” major rewrite (and have fanboys frothing)

Nah I'm just messing around. I am interested to see how they deal with it, because I can't see the cast holding the show together, if it goes the way it does.

I think assuming someone hasn't played the game(s) is the safest thing to do in this thread, there's plenty of people who haven't.

Yes, just at the top of this page we had someone saying they've had certain events spoiled, so best to be on safe side. It is a series that isn't on Xbox and the second game isn't on PC, so only PlayStation owners will have had an opportunity to play the sequel.
