The Last of Us Season 3: Abby Takes Center Stage
28 Jan
Summary
- Season 3 will largely focus on Abby's perspective.
- Kaitlyn Dever is excited for her expanded role as Abby.
- Future of the show beyond Season 3 is uncertain.
The highly acclaimed HBO series "The Last of Us" is gearing up for its third season, which is set to offer a significant narrative departure. Season 3 will reportedly shift its focus substantially, telling its story largely, if not entirely, from the perspective of Abby, a key character played by Kaitlyn Dever. Dever herself has voiced considerable excitement about her expanded role in the upcoming production.
The approach for Season 3 appears to mirror the structure of the "The Last of Us Part II" video game, which allowed players to experience the narrative through both Ellie and Abby. This perspective shift aims to provide viewers with a deeper understanding of Abby's motivations, potentially humanizing a character initially perceived as an antagonist. The reception to this narrative choice will be closely watched by fans, given the divided reactions the game's similar shift initially elicited.
Beyond the narrative direction of Season 3, questions linger regarding the future of "The Last of Us" series beyond its planned installments. Unlike previous seasons, there is no "The Last of Us Part III" video game currently available or reportedly in advanced development to serve as a direct source material. However, given the show's immense popularity, the possibility of continued seasons remains open.
