HBO’s The Last of Us has a tendency to expand on minor characters that the games didn’t have time for, and there are a ton of minor characters in Abby’s story who deserve the same treatment in season 3. The Last of Us has gotten some of its best stories and characters out of these bit parts from the games, like Frank and Eugene.

When The Last of Us season 3 rolls around in 2027, hopefully it’ll do the same thing. This season will have the burden of getting audiences to sympathize with Abby without the benefit of gameplay literally putting them in her shoes. Building on characters like Jerry and Max could go a long way toward creating that sympathetic connection.
