The Last of Us Season 2 will enter production when the ongoing Hollywood strikes come to an end, and it will introduce the controversial character Abby. This role has now been cast, showrunner Craig Mazin confirmed in an interview with The Los Angeles Times.

Mazin did not say who is playing Abby in Season 2, but fans are theorizing that Shannon Berry (The Wilds, Hunters) is getting the role based on social media posts.

Berry follows Neil Druckmann on Instagram, as well as series stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, and The Last of Us official account. This doesn't mean anything much, necessarily, since all of those people and accounts are independently famous.
