HBO’s The Last of Us will soon return for its second season as the live-action show begins adapting The Last of Us Part II. And while the upcoming season will introduce the major characters from that sequel, it will also feature the debut of a character who was only mentioned in the game.
“There is a pretty prominent character that is talked a lot about in the game, similar to what we did with Frank [Murray Bartlett] in season 1, that is in this season,” said showrunner and Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann during a feature interview with EW. “There’s a very, very cool casting that I hope we can talk about soon.”
Druckmann and his co-showrunner Craig Mazin didn’t share any additional details about the mystery character or who would play them. They did, however, explain why the show’s depiction of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) won’t be as overtly muscular as her in-game counterpart. The showrunners also teased some non-linear storytelling in the second season.
