The stars and showrunners of The Last of Us attended the Southwest Film Festival and got talking about the themes that the new season will tackle. Co-showrunner Craig Mazin said “escalation” is a major theme of the season, which will include different types of infected. “A lot of what’s going on in the season is evolution and change,” he said. 

Newcomer to the show Kaitlyn Dever, who plays a survivor named Abby, told the audience, “I think I just wanted to really focus on who Abby is in her core and her emotional journey and establishing her grief and how broken she is. That was the main goal for me.”
