It doesn’t matter if you have a code like me, there are some things that everyone agrees are just …wrong. — Abby
We get a closer look at Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby in the latest season 2 teaser for HBO’s hit adaption of The Last of Us video game, coming this April.
Abby is connected to Joel (Pedro Pascal)’s big lie.
What is The Last of Us?
Season one of The Last of Us took place 20 years after modern civilization had been destroyed by a fungal pandemic. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, was hired to smuggle teen Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What started as a small job soon became a brutal, heartbreaking journey as they both traversed across the U.S. and depended on each other for survival.
We left Joel and Ellie in the season one finale overlooking Jackson, Wyoming, after Joel’s big lie about the events at the Fireflies hospital: Joel rescued an anesthetized Ellie after murdering the doctors who were about to harvest her cells as a possible cure for the Cordyceps infection in a procedure she would not have survived.
Jackson, Wyoming, is a walled community of survivors from the fungal pandemic led by Joel’s brother Tommy Miller (Gabriel Luna) and sister-in-law Maria (Rutina Wesley).
What’s coming in season 2?
After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey)’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
We meet some new characters In Jackson like Ellie’s new friend Dina (Isabela Merced).
And young scout Jesse (Young Mazino).
We also meet a group of former Fireflies who join Isaac (Jeffrey Wright)’s Washington Liberation Front (WLF) in Seattle: soldier Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever), who’s seeking vengeance for someone she loved; soldier Manny (Danny Ramirez), doctor Mel (Ariela Barer), military medic Nora (Tati Gabrielle) and Owen (Spencer Lord).
Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby Anderson.
Jeffrey Wright’s Isaac.
Ellie and Dina later travel from Jackson to Seattle on a horse named Shimmer.
A teaser for season 2 of HBO’s smash hit adaption of The Last of Us video game reveals the completed Jackson, Wyoming set that was constructed north of Vancouver.
