Merle Dandridge, who voiced Marlene in both of the Naughty Dog games for PlayStation, will reprise the role in the premium cable network's scripted drama series.

The Last of Us revolves around the relationship between Joel (Pedro Pascal, The Mandalorian), a hardened survivor of the collapse of modern civilization 20 years ago, and 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey, Game of Thrones), whom he's hired to smuggle out of an oppressive quarantine zone.

Dandridge's Marlene is the head of the Fireflies, a resistance movement struggling for freedom against an oppressive military regime. She joins a cast that also includes Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Joel's younger brother.

Yo! That's great news! I hope the actor for Bill and the actress for Tess reprise their roles too.

Has there been any actors that have reprised their game roles into live action before?

This probably opens up Annie Wersching and W. Earl Brown for reprising their roles too, right?

Casting so far has been so good. I do hope they flesh out Marlene's story/journey more with them having the benefits of a TV show not needing to be locked on Joel & Ellie's journey, would make the end absolutely painful to watch though.

She was amazing in Greenleaf in Netflix. Glad she's keeping her role for TLOU series
