I think it worked well for The Last of Us, too. They accommodated 1:1 casting where they could (Merle Dandridge as Marlene in both the game and show), and casting Ashley Johnson as Ellie’s mom was a genius decision, which I think honors her original performance as Ellie in the games.
NGL Bella Ramsey and Ashley Johnson are totally believable as mother/daughter. Not only was Ashley Johnson playing Ellie’s mom the right choice, it was the perfect casting choice
