Berry follows Neil Druckmann on Instagram, as well as series stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, and The Last of Us official account. This doesn’t mean anything much, necessarily, since all of those people and accounts are independently famous.

Berry herself spoke on her likeness to Abby back in 2020 in a now-deleted tweet, saying, “Ok I’ve seen too many people now say I look like Abby from The Last of Us and wow they’re kind of right.”

The Last of Us Season 2 is expected to cover some of the main events of the second video game, so Abby will surely show up. Abby is a central character in The Last of Us: Part II, and a controversial one, given what happens in the story and her involvement in it.

Some people thought they saw Abby in The Last of Us Season 1 finale, but Druckmann shot down this fan rumor as being false.

Before the onset of the strikes, HBO management said The Last of Us Season 2 would arrive in 2025. The Hollywood strikes will almost certainly delay the start of production on Season 2, and that could mean the premiere date might move, too.

Regarding the strikes, Mazin previously said he was confident that labor would prevail. “This will end, and when it ends, it will end to the satisfaction of the Writers Guild. I am absolutely convinced of that. We have no other choice,” he said.

This is the first time since 1960 that unions representing writers and actors have been on strike at the same time. The SAG-AFTRA strike began during the London premiere of Oppenheimer, and actors walked out of a screening when the strike was called. The WGA strike began earlier, starting in May.

Writers and actors are seeking, among other things, better pay, viewership-based streaming residuals, and protections against artificial intelligence.
