Halley Gross made her mark writing and editing episodes of HBO's Westworld, and recently joined Naughty Dog as co-writer of The Last of Us: Part II.

"Halley's my kickass co-writer. Can't wait to share more of the story with y'all. Spoiler alert: it's intense," The Last of Us writer and director Neil Druckmann tweeted regarding Gross's addition to the team.

According to IMDB, Gross wrote the Westworld episodes titled "Trompe L'Oeil" and "The Adversary." Her writing credits include Scent of a Woman, a short film; an episode of Banshee; and a screenplay called Chemistry Project.

In addition to writing, she's credited as an actress on The Good Wife, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and As the World Turns.

The Internet has been abuzz with news of The Last of Us 2 following its unveiling at this weekend's PlayStation Experience, and almost two years' worth of rumors. The story is set some years after the first game, and you'll play as Ellie on a new adventure alongside Joel.
