What would cause such a rift between everyone?

Voice actress Laura Bailey brought the character to life in the game.

But who might be the best fit?

The Last of Us Part II, Abby Anderson, Florence Pugh, Katy O’Brian

Pugh can also handle more serious subject matters with grace.

JoiningThe Last of UsSeason 2 and beyond would be a great next step in her career.

Shannon Berry (The Wilds)

Shannon Berry is a relatively unknown actor.

Florence Pugh, Hawkeye

Her biggest project recently was Prime StudiosThe Wilds, which went on for two seasons before being canceled.

One thing most people will notice about the actress is that she already looks extremely similar to Abby.

Its a key reason why her name has been circulating as a good possible pick for the role.

Katy M. O’Brian, The Mandalorian

Cooke has shown on multiple occasions that shes an incredible actress with a proven range.

So while it would be outside her usual MO, Brewer could easily knock it out of the park.

With 100 episodes of starring in a highly popular TV show, Taylor is seasoned enough to handle it.

Shannon Berry, The Wilds

After all,Mahershala Ali was once considered for Joel.

She played Quinn Bailey, a roommate and friend to Jenna Ortegas Tara Carpenter.

While Liberato could come across as too young, her acting talents are no doubt there.

Olivia Cooke, House of the Dragon

With the character will come some heavy controversy and even more potent toxic fandom.

With Season 2 possibly starting productionlater this year, Abby is bound to be cast sooner rather than later.

The Last of UsSeason 1 is now streaming on HBO Max.

Madeine Brewer, Handmaid’s Tale
