As a complicated character who’s responsible for arguably one of the most gut-wrenching deaths in gaming history, Abby needs someone with depth and range to play her and Shannon could be exactly what HBO’s The Last of Us needs. With that said, we’ve no evidence that HBO’s The Last of Us has already started casting for Season 2, which will adapt the events of The Last of Us Part II. Except, Neil Druckmann might have let it sleep that he’s also got the Hunter actress in his sights if she hasn’t already been cast as Abby yet. Fans noticed that the creator of The Last of Us is a follower of Berry on Instagram, who also follows Bella Ramsey, who portrays Ellie in the TV show, as well as the official The Last of Us account on Instagram. Now, this could mean a lot of things, as The Last of Us is easily one of the most recognizable gaming franchises, especially among younger audiences. But, this does suggest that Druckmann is, at the very least, listening to what audiences are saying.
— aleah (@scarymcvies) January 19, 2023 Given that HBO renewed House of the Dragon after the first episode premiered, fans have similar expectations for HBO’s The Last of Us. Either way, it will most likely be a while before Neil Druckmann and Craig Maizin casts someone from the second game. In the meantime, fans can check out The Last of Us Part 1 on the PS5 (for free if you’re a PS Plus Premium subscriber) or on the PC on March 3. Also, we should be hearing more details about the multiplayer spin-off to The Last of Us later this year. Finally, Druckmann might have just confirmed that Naughty Dog is thinking about The Last of Us Part III.
