As if a full-blown apocalypse wasn't already a big enough threat for the morally ambiguous protagonists heading up HBO's The Last of Us, the hugely popular first outing will give way to a second round that has the potential to be twice as much of a harrowing and emotional gut-punch, thank to the impending introduction of video game villain-turned-quasi-hero Abby. And now we finally know who will be taking on that complex and controversial role.
The Last of Us Season 2 has officially cast Last Man Standing vet and No One Will Save You star Kaitlyn Dever to play Abby, a choice that I'd previously championed when the actress' name was attached to rumors for the role. Because it's clearly the perfect choice for whatever reasons you may or may not be able to come up with at a moment's notice. Dever is Abby, and that's just how it goes.
