The second episode of Season 2 of HBO’s “The Last of Us” has left viewers shocked and emotionally shaken, especially with the intense scenes featuring Kaitlyn Dever’s character, Abby. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dever opened up about the challenging circumstances surrounding her filming of Abby’s pivotal moments in the show.

Dever revealed that she began filming just three days after her mother’s funeral, adding a layer of emotional intensity to the already heavy scenes she was about to shoot. The first sequences she filmed for the show involved Abby torturing Pedro Pascal’s character, Joel, to his death, making it a particularly difficult start to her time on set.

The actress shared that her mother had been battling metastatic breast cancer for 14 years before passing away in February 2024, just weeks before Dever was set to begin filming “The Last of Us.” She described feeling like she was in a fog or daze during this period, understandably struggling with the weight of her recent loss.

Despite the challenging circumstances, the creative team behind “The Last of Us” made every effort to support Dever during filming. They adjusted the shooting schedule to accommodate her needs and ensure she felt comfortable on set, even going as far as to create a closed set to limit distractions and bystanders during the most intense scenes.

Series co-creator Craig Mazin emphasized the importance of prioritizing Dever’s well-being during such a difficult time, stating, “I’m not going to disrupt someone’s grieving process for their own parent, especially [with] a show that’s partly about the grieving process.” Dever also reflected on how her unique approach to the role, influenced by her personal circumstances, allowed her to connect with the character in a profound way.

The shocking murder of Joel in the episode closely mirrors the events of “The Last Of Us Part II” video game, adding a layer of complexity to Abby’s character and her motivations. Despite the violent and tragic nature of the scenes, Pascal shared that working with Dever was an amazing experience, highlighting the bond that can form between actors through challenging material.

As viewers process the emotional impact of this episode, it’s clear that Dever’s dedication and resilience in the face of personal tragedy have brought depth and authenticity to her portrayal of Abby in “The Last of Us” Season 2. The show continues to push boundaries and explore complex themes, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this gripping story.
