Actress Kaitlyn Dever, who portrays Abby in HBO's The Last of Us, hints at a more intense third season following a dramatic cliffhanger in Season 2. Discussing pivotal scenes, including the brutal death of Joel, Dever reflects on her unique experience of filming during personal grief, having lost her mother shortly before. Despite initial fears and knowing the backlash the game's original character faced, she found audience reactions surprisingly positive. Dever advocates for understanding that deeply human emotions can enhance performance even during challenging times.
"I kill everyone's favorite character, the love of everyone's life... I had no idea what to expect."
"It's all a blur, and it felt like I got to experience it as a first-time viewer. Grief does a really interesting thing with your brain."
"The reaction was more positive than I thought it would be."
"I was terrified at the thought of going back to work after my mother passed away, but she was so excited for me."
