The Last of Us Season Two's Abby, Kaitlyn Dever, wants to "do this character justice and make the fans proud"

When the second season of The Last of Us airs this April, viewers will be introduced to the character of Abby.

Those who know the games will be aware of the conversation around this character, with some already expressing concern about the toxicity actress Kaitlyn Dever will likely receive through proxy of playing Abby. In fact, Dever required extra security on set because of the role.

But, while Dever has admitted it’s “hard not to see those things on the internet”, she has worked to “do this character justice” in The Last of Us’ second season.

When asked by ScreenRant if she pays attention to how people anticipate a character such as The Last of Us Part 2’s Abby, Dever replied:

“Well, it’s hard not to see those things on the internet. It’s hard not to stop myself from looking at it every once in a while, especially going into this, for sure. And I want to do this character justice and make the fans proud by bringing her to life in this kind of way.”
