Kaitlyn Dever joins the cast of HBO’s The Last of Us for its upcoming season season, playing the role of Abby. Season 2 is wrapped up and set for debut on April 13, and Dever was recently asked to discuss what her last day on set was like. She can’t remember, however.
She told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet for the SAG Awards that she “genuinely can’t remember” the last day on set, stressing that’s the honest truth and that HBO has not forbade her from discussing Season 2.
“It was like a really crazy time. I feel like I was floating through set, truly, so my memory on it is a bit lost,” she said (via Bleeding Cool).
While Dever couldn’t recall her final day on set, what she can confidently say is how much she enjoyed working with her castmates on Season 2.
“I can say that I love the cast so much. It’s such a wonderful group of people that I really love working with. It’s nice to know you’re getting into something like that with such a beautiful family. It’s really wonderful,” she said.
Abby is a central character in the narrative of The Last of Us Part II, which forms the basis of The Last of Us Season 2. The second season won’t adapt the game entirely, as it’s expected to take multiple seasons to cover the events of The Last of Us Part II, which might explain why Dever used the present tense to describe working with her Season 2 co-stars even though she is done filming Season 2.
In other news, Dever recently spoke out to dispel a rumor about Season 2. Isabela Merced, who plays Dina in Season 2, said Dever needed extra security due to the polarizing nature of the character Abby, but Dever said that is simply not true.
Season 2 of The Last of Us debuts Sunday, April 13. In addition to Dever, Season 2 adds Danny Ramirez as Manny and Young Mazino as Jesse. Jeffrey Wright, who played Isaac in the video game, joins the cast of Season 2 in the same role.
According to HBO, there could be four seasons of The Last of Us. The show will not tell any stories beyond the games, so if it does run for four seasons–or more–fans are wondering if this means the rumored The Last of Us 3 game might be real and potentially coming relatively soon. Naughty Dog is currently developing the single-player game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and at least one more game, which many believe is a third Last of Us game.
Next up for The Last of Us is the PC release of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, which arrives on April 3 just before Season 2 of the show.
