The Last of Us was such a massive hit on HBO. Naughty Dog created a truly cinematic gameplay experience that translated well into a series adaptation. This live-action series was released and gained a following immediately, prompting HBO to order a second season. However, the second season has not had the smoothest start. You can blame the delay in this production on the strikes in Hollywood. But now that the strikes have ended, productions have once again started back up with The Last of Us season two, which is expected to begin filming shortly.
Abby, meet Abby: The Last of Us 2 voice actor reacts to HBO casting: "Let me know if you need a workout buddy"
10.01.2024 - 01:38 / gamesradar.com / Laura Bailey / Pedro Pascal / Ashley Johnson / Bella Ramsey / Kaitlyn Dever / Last Of Us
The voice actor who played Abby in The Last of Us 2 has responded to HBO's casting of the same character for the second season of the TV show, and she's just as excited as we all are.
In case you missed it, HBO announced today that Kaitlyn Dever will play Abby in The Last of Us season 2 after a good deal of speculation. If you haven't played the game, Abby was introduced in The Last of Us 2 and dramatically changed the trajectory of the plot after being involved in a pivotal, and extremely controversial, scene involving protagonist Joel Miller. As the TV show is likely to continue following the plot from the game closely, this article won't contain spoilers, but suffice it to say, Abby's casting is a big deal.
Consequently, Abby's voice actor, Laura Bailey, has shared a brief reaction to the news, asking her TV show counterpart if she'd be up for a gym sesh.
"Huge congrats, Kaitlyn!" Bailey wrote on Twitter. "So excited to see Abby's evolution in your performance! Let me know if you want a workout buddy."
While Bailey provided the voice for Abby, it was Jocelyn Mettler who the character's face was modeled after. Troy Baker played Joel in the games, while Pedro Pascal took on the role for the show. Likewise, Ashley Johnson played Ellie in the games, while Bella Ramsey took over for the show.
The Last of Us season 2 is due to premiere on HBO in 2025. Looking for something to watch in the meantime? Here's a list of the best new TV shows coming your way in 2024 and beyond.

The Last of Us Part 2 almost had a very different ending, according to Remastered commentary
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
