The Last of Us Part 2's Abby calls Kaitlyn Dever "phenomenal", while Bella Ramsey says Neil Druckmann still has an impact on season three
Laura Bailey, who portrayed Abby in Part 2, has called Kaitlyn Dever “phenomenal” following The Last of Us’ second season.
The Last of Us Part 2 (the game) initially released back in 2020, and Bailey went on to win the Best Performance accolade at the Game Awards for her portrayal of Abby. Now, another actress has taken on the role, with Dever portraying Abby in HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation, which recently ended its second season.
“She’s just phenomenal, every moment that I saw that she was in, I just loved how much she brought to the character and made it her own,” Bailey said of Dever’s performance on the show.
Bailey likened seeing Dever on screen in The Last of Us season two as “like watching your child get up and start walking” for the first time. “Once you put it out there it’s somebody else’s and she’s just embraced it,” Bailey said.
