Peter Sarsgaard has been cast in the third season of 'The Last of Us' series, taking on the role of Amon, a character not present in the original video games. Amon is the leader of the Seraphites, a group of religious extremists known for their lethal
and intolerant behavior. The Seraphites are expected to play a significant role in the upcoming season, which will focus on Abby's storyline from 'The Last of Us Part II'.
