After reports of Kaitlyn Dever possibly playing Abby in The Last of Us Season 2 hit the web, fans are curious to know whether or not that is true. Here is all you need to know about the ongoing story.
Is Kaitlyn Dever the Abby actress in The Last of Us Season 2?
As of writing, Kaitlyn Dever has not been officially confirmed to be playing Abby in The Last of Us Season 2.
Reputed industry insider Jeff Sneider of The InSneider reported that Kaitlyn Dever has signed on to play Abby in The Last of Us Season 2. He had also reached out to showrunner Craig Mazin for a comment which has yet to be responded to. Then 14 hours ago, another reputed insider and semi-reliable scooper Daniel RPK also corroborated Sneider’s report via Patreon.
However, fans should take both these reports with a grain of salt and wait for official confirmation from Mazin, HBO, and the makers of the series. Despite this, Mazin has previously revealed that he has found the actress for Abby, though he did not reveal who it was.
Dever is not the only name associated with Abby as there has been a lot of speculation regarding the actress who would take on Abby, with names like Shannon Berry and Florence Pugh being thrown in the mix. That said, fans may not have to wait very long to find out who will play the character as production for the second season is set to commence in early 2024. What is even more interesting is that Dever reportedly almost played Ellie in the show before the role went to Bella Ramsey.
