HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us Part 2 will portray Abby differently than her video game counterpart. Showrunner Neil Druckmann clarifies that actress Kaitlyn Dever didn't need the same physical build as the game's Abby because the show prioritizes drama over moment-to-moment violent action. The show's Abby will be "physically more vulnerable," but with a stronger spirit, according to showrunner Craig Mazin. This approach allows for a different exploration of Abby's formidable nature.
The adaptation plans to extend beyond a single season, unlike Season 1. While Season 3 isn't confirmed, Season 2 concludes with a natural breakpoint after seven episodes, reflecting the extensive story of Part 2.
The production faced challenges due to the negative online reaction to Abby's character in the game. Actress Kaitlyn Dever received additional security due to online harassment directed at the character and even the actress who voiced her in the game, Laura Bailey. Actress Isabel Merced, who plays Dina, highlighted the absurdity of the hate directed at a fictional character.
