Kaitlyn Dever braves fan backlash as Abby in ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2, with beefed-up security ensuring she survives the apocalypse.

Looks like Kaitlyn Dever’s facing a different kind of infected on the set of The Last of Us Season 2 - rabid fans! Our girl’s stepping into the shoes of Abby, and let’s just say some folks aren’t too thrilled about it.

Isabela Merced, aka our soon-to-be Dina, spilled the tea on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that Dever’s got more security than a Firefly outpost. Apparently, Abby’s not-so-fan-favorite status in the game world’s got everyone on high alert during outdoor shoots.

But Dever? She’s tougher than a Clicker’s skull. She’s diving headfirst into this controversial role, haters be damned. And let’s be real, if she can handle Abby’s workout routine, she can handle anything.

Fans are chomping at the bit to see how Dever brings this buff ball of controversy to life. Will the show stick to the game’s gut-punch plot twists? Only time will tell.
