The second season of the HBO hit "The Last of Us" is set to arrive this April with seven new episodes that will reunite fans with the likes of Pedro Pascal's Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey's Ellie five years after the action of the first season. But per that intense season 2 trailer, the new eps will also introduce viewers to a new character, one that's been eagerly awaited by longtime fans of the video-game franchise that inspired the post-apocalyptic drama series.
Kaitlyn Dever — who TV fans most recently saw leading the Netflix miniseries "Apple Cider Vinegar" — is taking on the role of Abby, "a skilled soldier whose black-and-white view of the world is challenged as she seeks vengeance for those she loved," per HBO. We meet Abby among a group of survivors that includes Owen (Spencer Lord), Mel (Ariela Barer), Nora (Tati Gabrielle), and Manny (Danny Ramirez).
