Schitt's Creek's most fashionable citizen may be coming soon to a zombie apocalypse near you.

That's right: Catherine O'Hara, the Emmy-winning actor behind Moira Rose and star of Beetlejuice and Home Alone, is in talks to join The Last of Us Season 2.

O'Hara revealed the news on the after show of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she and Bryan Cranston were promoting their new film Argylle. Fans called into the show to ask if there was any truth to the rumors that she would be joining the cast of The Last of Us.

"How do you know these things?" a stunned O'Hara asked, following up with confirmation that the rumors were true.

"My son's a set dresser on the show," she added, noting both her children with Beetlejuice production designer Bo Welch, followed in their father's footsteps in that regard.

O'Hara would be the latest new cast member to join The Last of Us for Season 2, with new faces including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, a member of the Fireflies; Isabela Merced as Dina, Ellie's girlfriend; and Young Mazino as Jesse, one of Ellie friends and Dina's ex.

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are returning as Joel and Ellie, with filming on Season 2 set to begin in Canada this Feb. for a 2025 release.

The Last of Us Season 1 is now streaming on Max.
