Bella Ramsey, the actor who portrays Ellie in The Last of Us HBO, has heaped praise on the latest castings of the show, which includes Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson.
Speaking with GamesRadar+, Ramsey also described meeting up with Dever for the first time, and made it clear they are very much excited for what’s to come from The Last of Us Season 2.
I’m incredibly happy with who has been cast. It’s exciting for me. I’m happy to have a whole new bunch of people come and join the family. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.
I’ve met Kaitlyn once in the most stupid place [at] a gala,” Ramsey says of Dever, who was once touted to play Ellie in a Last of Us movie many moons ago. I met Kaitlyn there very briefly when we were waiting for our cars. I knew they were talking to her about casting at that point, so it was just sort of quietly like ‘Hey‘ and shared numbers and stuff.
She’s excellent, Isabel and Young as well, I’m really excited to get going with all of them.
