**Kaitlyn Dever** has joined the cast of *The Last of Us,* Season 2...

The *Booksmart* and *No One Will Save You* actor !and musician!) will join stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey when she takes on the role of Abby, a skilled soldier who seeks vengeance for loved ones.

"Our casting process for season two has been identical to season one: we look for world-class actors who embody the souls of the characters in the source material," series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckermann said in a joint statement. "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."

Confirming the news on [social media](https://www.instagram.com/p/C14-DNXSD5a/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io), Kaitlyn wrote, "So excited to join the family."

Unfortunately, the official release hasn't given us any further details about the second season, so we'll just have to wait a little longer to find out!

The first season of the hugely popular post-apocalyptic drama series - based on the PlayStation game of the same name - follows the story of Joel (portrayed by Pedro), who is hired to smuggle 14-year-old girl Ellie (portrayed by Bella), out of a quarantine zone. The journey is brutal and both Joel and Ellie have to depend on each other to survive.

It has already won several awards, including Outstanding Guest Actor and Actress in a Drama Series for Nick Offerman and Storm Reid at the recent Creative Arts Emmys.

It's also nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the Primetime Emmy Awards which will take place January 15, 2024 - and if the series wins, it'll be the first live-action video game adaptation to do so! Both Bella and Pedro are also up for lead acting awards.
