The Last Of Us Season 2 is set to begin filming over the next few days, and in preparation, the entire cast of the show and the show's production crew all recently met up in Canada. It seems as though to potentially celebrate the start of filming and to properly introduce the new faces playing characters such as Dina and Jesse, the crew went out to dinner, and took a lovely group picture to bookmark the occasion.
HBO’s The Last of Us has found its Abby

Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us will star Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson, the antagonist (and playable protagonist) of the video game The Last of Us Part 2, HBO and developer Naughty Dog announced Tuesday.
Dever will join returning cast members Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie in the next season of HBO’s adaptation of the post-apocalyptic video game series.
A Golden Globe and Emmy nominee, Dever is best known for her roles in films like Booksmart and No One Can Save You, and TV series Justified and Dopesick. She also appeared in Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End as Cassie, daughter of Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher.
Abby in The Last of Us Part 2 was portrayed by longtime Naughty Dog collaborator and veteran voice actor Laura Bailey — who made a brief cameo in season 1 of HBO’s The Last of Us as a nurse in the final episode, “Look for the Light.” Abby’s in-game appearance was based on two other women: face model Jocelyn Mettler and athlete Colleen Fotsch. The fictional events of The Last of Us Part 2 also led to the women who portrayed Abby being harassed by supposed fans of Naughty Dog’s games, including numerous death threats against them.
The role of Abby will be a crucial one to the story of season 2 (and possibly season 3) of The Last of Us. The story of Naughty Dog’s sequel, set years after the original game, focused on the repercussions of Joel and Ellie’s choices in the first chapter; players experienced the resulting conflict from two perspectives, playing as both Ellie and Abby over the course of The Last of Us Part 2’s lengthy story.
Season 2 of The Last of Us does not have an announced release date, but likely won’t arrive until 2025. It’s unlikely to be the final season, especially if it maintains the success of the first. Show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have said the remaining story of The Last of Us will span “more than one season.”

With the release of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, gamers are again going through the emotions of playing this title and the incredibly dark story that Naughty Dog presented to them originally on the PS4. Now, with the PS5 version, fans aren’t just getting the most “aesthetically pleasing version” of the game but also getting insight into what made this game what it was. The documentary attached to the new game brought the voice actors into the mix and creative director Neil Druckmann to explain some of the game’s key moments. But the biggest moment that everyone wanted to hear about was the “final battle” between Abby and Ellie.

The Last Of Us 2 Remastered Has One New Feature More Games Should Use
is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.

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.
