The Last of Us Part 2 with Abby
Bad news for fans, The Last of Us Season 2 has been delayed and is not set to release until 2025 due to the WGA/SAG strike that halted production.
Rumors continue to swirl around actress Kaitlyn Dever, as high-profile insiders claim that she has secured the role Abby on the show. Dever was originally thought to be cast as the character, and now it seems that confirmation has arrived, much to the excitement of fans.
Dever shares a striking resemblance with the character Ellie, but impressed casting directors with her audition for the role. Her acting chops, resemblance to Abby, and her prior work history seem to have set her apart from other rumored actresses for the role.
There is some speculation regarding the physicality of the role, as fans ponder whether Dever will need to make physical changes to more accurately portray Abby’s strength and agility. However, it’s the essence of the character, not just the physical appearance, that will truly bring her to life on screen.
