The Last of Us series will see a radical change in the focus of the story in its third season. This possibility, which has been talked about for a while, was officially confirmed with a statement made by the creators of the series Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. Mazin and Druckmann announced at an event they attended that Abby will be the new main character of the series in the third season.

The Last of Us is undergoing a major change in its third season

The Last of Us, which reached a wide audience with its first season and received full marks from critics, became the scene of more discussions with its second season released this year. The story, told through the eyes of Joel and Ellie, changed direction at the end of the second season and gave signals of a transition to a different perspective.

The open-ended narrative style in the season finale strengthened speculations that the Abby character would be at the center. The expression “Abby season”, which was previously mentioned in the statement made by Catherine O’Hara, who played the character Gail in the series, became true with the announcement made yesterday.

As in the second episode of the video game series of the same name, the main character in the series also changes. The story, which progressed from Ellie’s perspective in the game, shifted to Abby’s perspective in the following episodes. The series will maintain this structure.

It was announced that the story will start to be told through Abby as of the third season. It was stated that this choice was made by staying true to the game script. The creators of the series clearly stated that they will not change direction in this regard.

The sudden placement of the Abby character at the center of the story may be a difficult transformation, especially for viewers who have established an emotional bond with Ellie in the first two seasons.
