The Last Of Us.The hit HBO series, based on the post-apocalyptic video game series of the same name, has been renewed for a second season, which is expected to start production in the spring ahead of a 2025 release.It has been announced that the Booksmart and No One Will Save You star will be taking on the role of Abby, whose character description reads: “Abby is a skilled soldier whose black-and-white view of the world is challenged as she seeks vengeance for those she loved.”Dever had been considered by fans for the lead role of Ellie, who is played by Bella Ramsay, due to her uncanny resemblance to the video game’s avatar. Dever even auditioned for the part, but due to her age, 27, she was unsuccessful.According to Deadline, showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann made a joint statement in which they said: “Our casting process for season two has been identical to season one: we look for world-class actors who embody the souls of the characters in the source material.”“Nothing matters more than talent,” they continued.
