The confirmed Until Dawn 2 cast includes Dacre Montgomery as Owen, Camila Senna as Mina, and Peter Stormare returning as Dr. Hill. The new playable ensemble is the eight-person Dead True crew. Neil Newbon, Janina Gavankar, and Gia Kim also have named roles, but being in the cast does not automatically make their characters playable.
This guide covers the upcoming PS5 game, not the Until Dawn film or the earlier game's complete cast. The sequel is a standalone story with a new central group. Dr. Hill is the only returning character identified by the current game information.
Confirmed actors and characters
| Performer | Character | Place in the announced ensemble |
|---|---|---|
| Dacre Montgomery | Owen | Playable Dead True member. |
| Camila Senna | Mina | Playable Dead True member. |
| Spence Moore II | Nate | Playable Dead True member. |
| Andie Ju | Reagan | Playable Dead True member. |
| Sarah Catherine Hook | Izzy | Playable Dead True member. |
| Gavin Leatherwood | Luke | Playable Dead True member. |
| Hannah Kepple | Josie | Playable Dead True member. |
| Tanner Buchanan | Cameron | Playable Dead True member. |
| Peter Stormare | Dr. Hill | Returning character. |
| Neil Newbon | Sebastian | Named character outside the eight-person playable crew list. |
| Janina Gavankar | Anna | Named character outside the eight-person playable crew list. |
| Gia Kim | Yoona | Supernatural-attack survivor who meets the crew. |
The eight playable names also appear together in the description of the Y2K Neon Vibes Pack. That provides a useful cross-check: Owen, Mina, Nate, Reagan, Izzy, Luke, Josie, and Cameron are the group receiving those advertised playable-character costumes.
Do not turn the complete actor list into a player count. Until Dawn 2 is a single-player game even though you guide multiple characters. Twelve confirmed named casting pairs do not mean twelve simultaneous players, twelve playable protagonists, or an online group mode.
The eight playable Dead True members
Dacre Montgomery as Owen
Owen is one of Dead True's stars and appears prominently in the choice-and-consequence preview. A demonstrated situation places him between following a signal to help his missing friend Nate and taking a bridge detour toward a strangely active bar. That identifies Owen's role in a specific previewed dilemma without revealing which route is ultimately safest.
You may recognize Montgomery as Billy Hargrove in Stranger Things or Jason Scott, the Red Ranger, in the 2017 Power Rangers film. Those credits help identify the performer. They do not mean Owen shares Billy's history, temperament in every scene, or story outcome.
Camila Senna as Mina
Mina is Dead True's sensitive co-host. Her character introduction emphasizes compassion and interest in the unexplained, while the preorder preview places her under pressure to carry out a ritual sacrifice for the cameras. The demonstrated alternative is to release the chicken and risk her own blood for the ritual.
Senna is the performer credited with Mina. The character's interest in paranormal subjects should not be confused with confirmation of supernatural abilities. At this stage, the useful identification is her role in the show and the moral pressure visible in the preview.
Spence Moore II as Nate
Nate is Dead True's director. His job is part of the crew's production structure, rather than evidence that he directs the video game itself. In the September story demonstration, he is the missing friend whose signal Owen can pursue. That gives you a practical connection between two names that otherwise appear separately in casting lists.
Moore's previous television work includes A.P. Bio and Brilliant Minds. His established acting credits help distinguish him from other similarly named performers. The game's own confirmed spelling is Spence Moore II, and Nate is the character name to follow in the sequel's scenes.
Andie Ju as Reagan
Reagan is one of the eight playable members of Dead True. Her place in that ensemble is confirmed alongside Andie Ju's performance, even though the full range of her decisions and relationships is not disclosed by the casting list.
Ju is known for work in Beef. Recognizing that performance can help place the actor, but no complete Reagan biography or survival route is established by the casting announcement. The confirmed job and performer are more useful than assigning motives from facial expressions in a short montage.
Sarah Catherine Hook as Izzy
Izzy joins Dead True as an intern. In the later preview, she uncovers something unexpected during the team's Blackwood Sanatorium investigation, before the crew's plans change. That makes her an important entry point into the trailer's setup, rather than merely an unnamed younger member of the group.
Hook's earlier screen work includes First Kill and The White Lotus. Those are recognition credits, not extra information about Izzy's fate. The intern's exact discovery and its later consequences should remain story questions until the game establishes them.
Gavin Leatherwood as Luke
Luke is one of the eight playable crew members, performed by Gavin Leatherwood. The casting confirmation is firmer than fan attempts to reconstruct his complete personality or relationships from brief trailer shots. His inclusion in the playable ensemble is the key distinction for anyone identifying the new group.
Leatherwood is associated with Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, including his role as Nicholas Scratch. A familiar face from supernatural television does not make Luke a supernatural entity or a returning character from another franchise. Treat the actor credit as identification, not a plot clue on its own.
Hannah Kepple as Josie
Josie is a playable Dead True member portrayed by Hannah Kepple. Her crew introduction identifies her as the location scout, which helps explain her practical place in an expedition that depends on filming at remote sites. The description establishes a production job; it does not reveal a complete route through the island.
Kepple is recognizable from Cobra Kai, where she played Moon. That connection can help you identify the performer alongside fellow cast member Tanner Buchanan, but their earlier shared series does not establish any relationship between Josie and Cameron in this game.
Tanner Buchanan as Cameron
Cameron is another of the eight playable members, with Tanner Buchanan in the role. Match that character name and performer when identifying him in the preview rather than treating any familiar face as a returning protagonist from the earlier game.
Buchanan is known for Cobra Kai and He's All That. Cameron's presence in the cast should not be inflated into a list of confirmed tools, puzzle abilities, or equipment unlocks. The published casting and character setup do not provide those gameplay details.
The returning and supporting characters
Peter Stormare as Dr. Hill
Stormare reprises Dr. Hill, giving the sequel a direct returning face from the earlier game. He appears in red lighting in the promotional material and is also the subject of the preorder costume and bobblehead content. His presence is confirmed; the full explanation of his role in the new story is not.
The most important continuity limit is that Dr. Hill is identified as the only returning character. A list containing his name should not be expanded to include Sam, Josh, or the rest of the original playable group without further confirmation.
Neil Newbon as Sebastian
Newbon plays Sebastian. His recognizable game work includes Baldur's Gate 3 and Resident Evil Village, which explains why his appearance attracts attention from players familiar with performance-driven games. Sebastian is a confirmed casting pair even though his full story function is not established here.
Do not substitute the actor's other roles for Sebastian's characterization. A performer known for an unsettling or charismatic character elsewhere is not evidence that this character is the killer, a secret villain, or a playable protagonist.
Janina Gavankar as Anna
Gavankar is confirmed as Anna. Her work includes True Blood and Star Wars Battlefront II, among other screen and game roles. Anna sits outside the advertised eight-name playable crew list, so the safe identification is her named presence in the wider cast.
Neither the cast list nor those earlier credits establishes her ultimate allegiance or survival status. Keeping the casting pair separate from a plot theory lets you recognize Anna when she appears without spoiling or inventing the story around her.
Gia Kim as Yoona
Yoona is the survivor who meets the crew at HorrorCon in Sydney. She reveals a scar from a supernatural attack, and her account directs the group toward Akishima Island. This is an announced part of the story setup, making her role more specific than an unidentified woman in the trailer.
Kim is recognizable from XO, Kitty. Yoona's scar and connection to a supernatural incident do not make her Sam from the first game. She has a separate character name and performer in the sequel's confirmed casting.
Keeping different casts separate
Search results can combine the 2015 game, the 2024 remake, the film, and this sequel. Until Dawn 2's new playable group is not a recasting of the eight friends from the original Blackwood Mountain story. The name Dead True and the tropical expedition are useful identifying details when captions are unclear.
Hayden Panettiere's association with Sam belongs to the earlier game and its remake material. The additional remake scene encouraged speculation, but it does not override the sequel's stated returning-character boundary. The same principle applies to movie credits and fan-made cast edits.
The confirmed list above deliberately leaves out an unnamed role that appears in third-party databases. A name in a database without a settled character assignment is not enough to invent a matching role, promote it to the official playable group, or fill an empty cell with a guess.
Matching a face while avoiding story spoilers
Start with the character's name and crew job, then use the performer to confirm your identification. Owen is the host in the bridge-and-signal dilemma; Mina is the co-host in the ritual scene; Nate directs Dead True and Izzy is the new intern. Josie scouts locations, while Reagan, Cameron, and Luke complete the named playable group.
For the wider cast, use the smaller set of confirmed distinctions: Dr. Hill returns, Yoona brings the warning, and Sebastian and Anna are named new characters. These facts identify the people shown without pretending that a short trailer supplies their complete relationships, hidden motives, or death conditions.
