The Last of Us season 2 changes Abby from game – creators explain why

Kaitlyn Dever will portray Abby, a character seeking vengeance in The Last of Us Part II, marking her long-standing connection to the series, as noted by Co-Creator Craig Mazin.
The second season will feature a time jump of five years, with Ellie and Joel living in Jackson, Wyoming.
Co-Showrunner Neil Druckmann indicated that adapting Part II entirely in one season is unfeasible, implying a need for a third or fourth season.
Dever was initially considered for Ellie years ago during early film adaptation plans, according to Craig Mazin.
