The Last of Us Season 2's Abby Didn't Bulk Up Because HBO Didn't Need to Emulate Certain Video Game Mechanics, Neil Druckmann Says
HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us Part 2 will portray Abby differently than her video game counterpart. Showrunner Neil Druckmann explains that actress Kaitlyn Dever didn't need to undergo a physical transformation because the show's narrative prioritizes drama over the game's action-oriented mechanics. Abby's physical strength, a key element in the game, is less crucial in the show's adaptation. Druckmann emphasizes that the show focuses on character development and emotional depth, shifting the emphasis from moment-to-moment violent action.
Craig Mazin, co-showrunner, adds that the series explores a more "physically vulnerable" yet spiritually stronger Abby, focusing on the origins and manifestations of her formidable nature. This suggests a multi-season arc for Abby's character.

HBO plans to expand The Last of Us Part 2 beyond a single season, unlike Season 1. Mazin indicates that Season 2, comprising seven episodes, concludes with a natural stopping point, hinting at future seasons.
The controversial nature of Abby's character in the game has led to online harassment of the cast and crew, prompting increased security measures for actress Kaitlyn Dever. Isabel Merced, who plays Dina, highlights the absurdity of the hate directed at a fictional character.
