HBO's The Last of Us has done an excellent job at bringing the award-winning video game franchise by Naughty Dog to life. Although fans doubted it at first, but the casting for the characters, especially Joel and Ellie, has been on point so far
We haven't met everybody yet, but it stands to reason that future castings will be just as good if not better. However, if we believe what fans just spotted, the actress who will play Abby in the show's second season might be the best cast character yet.
Fans have been keeping an eye on Shannon Berry for a while to play Abby. The Australian actress has a handful of acting credits to her name, but she's best known for her starring role in Amazon Prime Video's The Wild. Her character in the drama series, which revolves around a social experiment involving "crashing" teenagers on a deserted island, has drawn comparisons to the vengeful Fireflies member, including her physique.
As a complicated character who's responsible for arguably one of the most gut-wrenching deaths in gaming history, Abby needs someone with depth and range to play her and Shannon could be exactly what HBO's The Last of Us needs.
