‘Spoiler alert’: The Last of Us co-creator confirms season 3 will not focus on Ellie
The change in The Last of Us that co-creator ‘can’t believe’
- The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann has confirmed that the third season of the HBO show will focus on Kaitlyn Dever's character, Abby.
- The move has been anticipated by fans familiar with the video game series, as the game features a similar shift in perspective.
- Druckmann said he “can’t believe” that HBO allowed the creative team to structure the series in this way, giving them creative freedom to take risks.
- Dever has addressed the controversy surrounding Abby, who killed protagonist Joel (Pedro Pascal), stating it was never a concern for her due to the support from Druckmann and co-creator Craig Mazin.
- Druckmann and Mazin are unsure how much Ellie (Bella Ramsey), Dina (Isabela Merced), and Tommy (Gabriel Luna) will appear in the next season and believe a fourth season will be needed to complete the story.
