Furthermore, it was confirmed that the new batch of chapters must adapt a part of the game “The Last of Us Part II”, which must be completed before being portrayed in the series in at least one more season.
The nine episodes of the first season are available in the Max catalog.
New characters?
With the release of the official teaser on September 26th and the first posters of the characters, it was revealed that Abby, a figure who will have great importance for the new episodes, will be in the new season played by the actress Kaitlyn Dever.
In the game “The Last Of Us Part 2”, Abby Anderson is presented as the daughter of Dr. Jerry Anderson, a surgeon from the anti-government Fireflies militia, who would be responsible for performing Ellie’s surgery to try to create a vaccine against the cordyceps virus. .
Jerry, however, is one of the victims of the Fireflies team murdered by Joel (a character played by Pedro Pascal in the series), to save Ellie’s life and prevent the creation of the vaccine. With the death of the group, Abby and the rest of the survivors trigger a feeling of revenge, and start looking for the killer throughout the story.
After the death of her father, Abby ends up joining the Washington Liberation Front, a military group also known as the “Wolves”, and becomes physically stronger to carry out her revenge, regardless of what happens, becoming an exemplary soldier and earning the respect of Isaac, leader of the group.
