The events from Season 2 have been leading up to a confrontation between Ellie and Abby. Following the brutal murder of Joel by Abby due to her father’s death, Ellie swore revenge against anyone involved. Step by step, she came close to achieving it, managing to eliminate three out of four targets. However, both Abby and Manny’s outcomes remain unclear at this point.

Following their reunion at the aquarium with Tommy and Jesse, the group makes their way back to the theater where Dina is recuperating, to discuss their journey back to Jackson. Despite the heavy grief over Mel’s death during pregnancy, Ellie struggles to accept Abby’s survival. However, fate seems to conspire in their favor as they find themselves in the lobby just then. Abby sneaks into the theater, killing Jesse and subduing Tommy. Abby is taken aback when she sees Ellie, accusing her of squandering the chance for a new life that Abby had offered. As Abby tries to shoot Ellie, a flashback ensues, transporting us back three days to the WLF stadium base where Abby wakes up, eager to begin another day. If Season 3 mirrors The Last of Us Part II video game, it’s now Abby’s turn to take control.

What Will The Last of Us Look Like in Season 3?

We’re currently keeping tight-lipped regarding the specifics of Season 3, including Ellie’s fate and the overall structure of the season. For now, we can expect to learn more about these aspects in a couple of years.

Although I believe I have a clear understanding of how things will unfold now, I’m seasoned enough to understand that our perspective could change drastically within two weeks. All I can assure is that Kaitlyn Dever, Bella Ramsey, Isabela Merced, and many other characters who are deceased in the story right now won’t be making their final appearances.

Actress Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, offered a definitive yet cautious prediction: “I believe I’ll be there, but not excessively,” she said. “We’ve had discussions about it. I have a general sense of what might happen, but I can’t disclose the details.” Ramsey’s comment aligns with the events that transpire following Ellie and Abby’s first encounter in Seattle in the game. The narrative then jumps back to Abby’s father’s demise (an event not included in the show as it was already revealed in Season 2’s premiere) and progresses to Day 1 in Seattle, as seen through Abby’s eyes.

Abby doesn’t meet Ellie in her part of the game until they clash in the theater scene, a place where neither Abby nor Tommy are present before that moment.

It’s uncertain if the series will solely focus on Abby’s perspective in Season 3, but it seems highly probable. Since Abby’s narrative is deeply ingrained in the mechanics of The Last of Us, leaving it out would undermine her role in the story. This could mean that Ellie might not feature prominently in Season 3, allowing viewers to immerse themselves more fully in Abby’s world. It’s possible that Season 3 will primarily follow Abby’s journey through Seattle over three days, with flashbacks interspersed throughout. The series creator has hinted that the story might require four seasons to be fully told, so it’s likely that the Season 3 finale will leave off at the immediate aftermath of the theater situation, setting up for potential developments in subsequent seasons.

The Last of Us Challenges Viewers to Step Into the Villain’s Shoes

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I must admit that if Season 3 of a show like “The Last of Us” follows the pattern of “The Last of Us” game, it could pose quite a challenge for many viewers. This is because Bella Ramsey will be stepping into the spotlight as the main character, a role she was gradually introduced to in previous seasons.

Viewers have been emotionally invested in Ellie since Season 1’s premiere, making her transition to the lead role more seamless. However, Abby, who appears only sporadically in Season 2, will take over the protagonist role this time around. This sudden shift might take viewers a while to get accustomed to, given the relatively limited screen time Abby had before.

The discomfort viewers feel as they switch perspectives between Ellie and Joel raises questions about morality and loyalty. In Season 2, we root for Ellie because we care for Joel, but his actions in Season 3 make us question our allegiances. Abby’s story challenges the notion that there are clear good guys and bad guys; it makes people see the complexities of both characters.

Consequently, the audience will experience the destruction wrought by Ellie in Seattle from the perspective of her victims, revealing more of their individual personalities. Previously, viewers were aware of the tragic fates of Owen, Mel, and Nora, particularly Nora and Mel, but now they’ll gain a deeper understanding of these characters beyond mere participants in a harrowing ordeal. They will no longer be viewed as mere accessories to a violent journey. Instead, they will be seen as complex individuals who, like Ellie and Dina, possess both virtues and flaws. Ultimately, Abby’s story serves to emphasize that one’s adversary is not necessarily a villain.

Can The Last of Us Afford to Make Such a Big Change in the Story?

In most television shows, replacing the main character while keeping them on set isn’t common practice. Fans often express anger when shows persist, as seen with The Walking Dead, The Office, and The Vampire Diaries. It’s even more unsettling when the show deliberately pushes the protagonist to the background. However, The Last of Us doesn’t do this maliciously towards Ellie. Instead, it serves to demonstrate Ellie’s capacity for unspeakable acts, similar to Abby, effectively strengthening her character development.

Despite some players being hesitant about this change, it’s a significant shift in narrative that might have slowed down the connection between Ellie and Abby after their confrontation, requiring approximately 10 hours of gameplay for players to empathize with Abby. However, luck may favor the TV show as viewers have been less hostile towards Abby than they were towards Laura Bailey’s portrayal. The emotional impact of Joel’s death episode in the series could encourage viewers to give Season 3 a chance, as their open-mindedness might allow for an effective telling of this story.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that “The Last of Us Season 2″ is now streaming on Max (soon to be HBO Max). Moreover, there’s exciting news on the horizon – a third season is currently being developed!
