In the first episode of the second season, fans of the series “The Last of Us” In the end they met Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), one of the most important characters of the game. The girl is one of the survivors of skylights – a group that Joel (Pedro Pascal) decimated at the end of the first series. To say that Abby is not his fan, it’s like saying nothing.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress told about her character and casting, which she didn’t really have to go through. She was chosen by the creators for the role of ABBA – she could simply accept or refuse her. The same happened with the rest of the young cast – Isabeli Merced (Dina) and Young Mazino (Jesse).
We would like to remind you that a few years ago, when the game adaptation was planned, Dever was taken into account for the role of Ellie. The roads of Neil Druckmann – the creator of the game and the series – again crossed during work on the fourth installment of the popular “Uncharted” computer game series, in which she lent the voice of Cassie Drake (daughter of the main character).
Abby is one of the most controversial characters in the game – and probably in the series. The girl has her goal and will not go back to anything to take revenge on Joel.

Later in the conversation of Dever, which in February this year we could watch “apple cider vinegar” in the Netflix series, talks about her serial heroine.
“To understand Abby, you need to look at what influence on a person’s mourning, a loss of a loved one, especially just after it happened,” says Dever. “There is a shock and a desire to make it all disappear.”
“She wants to feel better,” he continues. “At this point, the only thing about what thought is revenge. She has a broken heart, is desperate, lost and tries to collect somehow.”
Dever started her acting career in 2009 Age appearing in small roles in the series “Contemporary Family” and “at all costs”. Later, it was the turn of such recognized productions as “J. Edgar”, “Tilled”, “Detroit” and “Storage number 12”.
