Abby has been cast for the second season of The Last of Us. HBO is betting on a talented actress who is already generating strong reactions.
The second season of “The Last of Us” is one of a long list of projects that have been delayed due to the writers and actors strike that hit Hollywood last year. Now that the various parties have won their case, the sequel’s pre-production and casting phases can resume in full force. In fact, one of the interpreters of one of the main characters of the second season of The Last of Us has officially been found.
Season 2 of The Last of Us has found its Abby
It was the phenomenon of 2023. HBO’s The Last of Us series won everything that came its way, as evidenced by the eight Emmys it won a few days ago. A real success that was reflected in the sales figures of the game and it did not take long before the American giant approved a sequel that would follow the events of The Last of Us 2, even if the Showrunner Don’t rule out splitting it into two parts since this second episode is so rich. If Ellie is still the focus of much of the plot, it is the arrival of the character Abby that is likely to spark passions. There were rumors about his interpreter, that has now been confirmed.
After seeing the role of Ellie pass her by in the canceled film, Kaitlyn Dever will officially play the role of Abby in Season 2 of The Last of Us. The fuse was spilled a few weeks ago, which has already provoked strong reactions. Some would have preferred to see Shannon Berry, known for her role as Dot in the series The wilderness from Amazon Prime Video, secure the role. However, Dever’s reputation and talent no longer need to be proven. With his roles in Incredible, Bookseller or Nobody will save you On Hulu, the actress proved that she is capable of playing a variety of roles.
TLOU 2 divided into several seasons?
The point that annoys his critics the most: his stature. It is certain that her physical training will begin once the scenes from Abby’s past are filmed. There will definitely be work, but HBO was obviously looking for a talented actress and they found it. However, we hope that it does not appear on the Internet in the next few hours as the reactions can be virulent. It now remains to be seen how Season 2 of The Last of Us will actually be edited.
Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann did not rule out dividing the story of the second episode of the saga into several parts. The sequel to the HBO series could then focus more on the events that immediately follow the end of the first season, ending with the famous scene that could shock more than one. This would give Kaitlyn Dever enough time to begin her physical transformation. She has until the release of the second season in 2025. From Nathan Drake’s sweet daughter to the imposing Abby, it’s just one step.
