The Last of Us Creator Confirms Major Abby Change for HBO Series (And It Makes Sense)
During an interview with EW for the upcoming second season, set to premiere in April, showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann shared insights on the character of Abby, played by Laura Bailey in the series. Notably, Druckmann opted to alter Abby’s physical appearance for the TV adaptation, making her less bulky and taller compared to her game version. The motivation behind this change was Druckmann’s desire to focus more on drama rather than constant violent action, as there is still action present, but with a different emphasis and approach.
