HBO’s The Last of Us has proved to be one of the most successful video game adaptations to date. The show has introduced a lot of characters, some of whom we’ve grown to love, while some others proved to be surprisingly hateful. Melanie Lynskey‘s Kathleen was definitely one of the latter ones, with a single goal in mind. Lynskey believes her hateful nature can be better explained with her own origin story.

Why does Melanie Lynskey want an origin story for Kathleen?
In her recent interview with Variety, Lynskey opened up on the possibility of seeing Kathleen return for an origin story and if she would be up for it. She replied, “If they wanted to go back and do an origin story, I would be there for it. The story of how this woman got into this crazy position would be really interesting.”
The Last of Us showrunner hints at covering the time gap between Part I & II early in the show
Craig Mazin, The Last of Us co-showrunner, said this in his recent interview with TheGamer, “Of course, in the second game, there’s a primary shift in time, but there are also moments that you see, that are in between the events of the main storyline of The Last of Us Part II and the storyline of The Last of Us Part I.”
When will Abby be introduced in The Last of Us Season 2?
When asked about Abby’s arrival, Mazin said, “Anytime you talk about Abby, you start to excite certain corners of the internet. All I can say is that Neil and I will be adapting the story to television, as best we see fit. It seems likely that main characters that are crucial to the storyline would be portrayed, but no, right now, it’s too early for me to commit to anything in print, let’s put it that way.”
