Kaitlyn Dever's Abby to be the focus of the Season 3 of The Last of Us; co-creator drops massive spoiler
If you are a fan of The Last of Us, we might have a spoiler for you. Season 3 will centre around Kaitlyn Dever's character, Abby. How do we know? Co-creator Neil Druckmann confirmed it during an FYC panel earlier this week.
'I can't believe that they let us structure the series in this way, meaning like, we just ended Season 2, and Season 3 is going to be starring — spoiler alert — Kaitlyn,' he said as quoted by Variety.
The end of Season 2 already hinted at this direction, as the perspective shifted from Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) to Abby. Abby is known for a key and controversial moment: killing Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) in Season 2.
Speaking virtually at the panel, Dever addressed the mixed fan reactions to Abby: 'I guess the controversy surrounding Abby was never really a concern for me, just given my first meeting with Craig and Neil and how wonderful they are and how talented they are.'
Co-creator Craig Mazin explained why Joel's death was a necessary turn in the story. 'In a show where we try and keep things as grounded as possible, and we want people to feel in real danger, then yes, sometimes the people that we can't imagine dying die. That's because, for me, this is not a show about revenge. It's a show about grief,' he said
The Last of Us premiered its first season on January 15, 2023, on HBO. It starred Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. In addition to Pascal and Ramsey, Season 1 also featured Gabriel Luna, Isabela Merced, and Young Mazino in key roles. The second instalment of the show premiered on April 13 this year and concluded on May 25. The release date for Season 3 has not been announced yet.
A: It will centre around Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever.
A: Abby killed Joel early in Season 2, a major and emotional turning point.

"He's actually going to Harvard": Cranston on why Erik Per Sullivan is not part of 'Malcolm in the Middle' revival
The 'Malcolm in the Middle' revival series will see , Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield reprising their roles as the Wilkerson family, but Erik Per Sullivan will not be returning as Dewey, reported Variety. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Caleb Ellsworth-Clark would be recast as the replacement. After starring in the original Fox series from 2000 to 2006, Sullivan stepped away from acting in 2010, at the age of 19. For this reason, the 'Malcolm' fans weren't entirely surprised that he wouldn't be joining for new episodes. However, that retirement doesn't mean that Sullivan wasn't invited, says Cranston, as reported by Variety. "I talked to Erik and I said, 'Hey, we got the show! It's going to come back.' He goes, 'Oh, that's fantastic!' And I go, 'Yeah, so we're looking forward to having you back.' He goes, 'Oh, no, no, I don't want to do it. But it's fantastic," Cranston said, previewing the revival in a conversation on the Fly on the Wall podcast hosted by Dana Carvey and David Spade, as quoted by Variety. Sullivan, now 33, has largely retreated from the spotlight of the TV industry since becoming an adult. But Cranston provided some insight into what the former child star is up to these days. "He's actually going to Harvard. He's really, really smart, and he's getting his master's at Harvard right now. He said, 'Oh God, no, I haven't acted since I was 9 or something. So I'm not into it.'" said Cranston as quoted by Variety. The 'Malcolm in the Middle' revival will be a four-episode event on Disney+, produced by Disney Branded Television. (ANI)

Arnold Schwarzenegger is open to working with son Patrick and son-in-law Chris Pratt, but only on THIS condition
Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't ruling out a big-screen collaboration with his family just yet. While attending the Season 2 premiere of his Netflix series FUBAR, the action icon said he'd be open to starring in a film with his son Patrick Schwarzenegger and son-in-law Chris Pratt—provided the right script comes along. 'It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it,' Arnold told E! News during the red carpet event which took place in the US on Thursday evening. 'But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script',' he added. The 77-year-old actor also had a message for filmmakers who might be dreaming up the possibility. 'You don't have to talk about it, just do it,' he said during the interview. A post shared by Variety (@variety) Arnold, who shares four children with ex-wife Maria Shriver—Patrick, Christina, Christopher, and Katherine (who married Chris Pratt in 2019)—also has a son, Joseph Baena, from a previous relationship. The idea of a Schwarzenegger-Pratt team-up certainly has potential, but for the Terminator star, story remains king. At the same event, the actor opened up about what fans can expect from FUBAR's second season, which released on Netflix on Thursday. 'The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action. And also really funny moments,' he said. Filming wasn't always easy, though, as Arnold recalled. 'The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun,' he said. Asked whether he'd consider a role on The White Lotus, following Patrick's recent appearance, Arnold left the door open: 'Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it. So we will see,' he said.
