Speculations regarding the cast are high, but it seems that the producers have still not pinpointed any names for Abby. The popular names that fans have been reeling for are Shannon Berry and Katy O’Brian. While Katy, The Mandalorian star, looks to be a good fit for the role of Abby, given the physical similarities, fans of Berry are adamant that only she can give life to the complex mind of Abby. However, the official Twitter handle of The Last of Us seems to put an end to the rumors circulating.
