As for when the cast and crew of HBO’s The Last of Us season 2 plan on announcing who will be playing its big bad antagonist Abby is currently unknown.
The studio could technically announce it whenever they want, however, it’s safe to assume that large announcements such as this will be kept secret until after the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes come to find a reasonable resolution.
Due to Mazin’s professional and talented skill at keeping spoilers close to his chest, there hasn’t even been a hint as to who will be playing the live-action Abby.
