Actress Kaitlyn Dever has been cast as Abby in HBO's "The Last of Us," the studio announced Tuesday.
The "Booksmart," "No One Will Save You" and "Last Man Standing" star joins the show, based on the video game series of the same name, for its second season, adding to its already star-studded cast that includes Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Dever auditioned for the character of Ellie.
Abby is the main antagonist of the game's second installment and is described as, "a skilled soldier whose black-and-white view of the world is challenged as she seeks vengeance for those she loved."

"Nothing matters more than talent, and we’re thrilled to have an acclaimed performer like Kaitlyn join Pedro, Bella and the rest of our family."
