Preparations are underway for our re-entry into the dismal world depicted in The Last of Us, and as always, we’ll find ourselves facing a gap between those who’ve journeyed through the game series and those encountering the narrative anew.
Similar to the previous season, changes are on the horizon for this installment as well. Notably, co-creator Neil Druckmann hinted at alterations to the storyline’s progression. Specifically, there may be a shift in the timeline, and a significant disclosure about the new character Abby, portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever, is something fans should brace for.
During a press event for the second season, Druckmann revealed that players will take on the role of Abby. This immediate establishes an empathetic bond as players experience survival alongside her, navigating through snowy landscapes, and battling the infected.
We can save some details for a future reveal, creating an enigma within the narrative, but this isn’t possible with the show since you’re not taking on the role of her character.
Regarding Abby’s connections with Joel and Ellie, as depicted in the game, Druckmann mentioned that if we were to adhere strictly to the same sequence of events, audiences might have to endure an extremely prolonged period before receiving the necessary backstory.
It seemed logical to show that scene at the beginning of the series instead of waiting for a later season, because we wanted to avoid spoiling it for the viewers and provide them with the necessary context immediately.
Druckmann recently discussed how Abby’s physical appearance will vary from the game in the upcoming series, justifying the casting of Dever despite some fans desiring a closer resemblance to the in-game character.
He emphasized that results matter most to us, above all else, “We seek an individual who can truly embody the spirit of the characters… It isn’t crucial for them to perfectly match the character’s physical features such as eyebrows, nose, or body shape. Instead, we prioritize performance.
“It’s not nowhere on the priority list, but it’s below a bunch of other things that we consider.”
