Following the passing of Catherine O’Hara, Craig Mazin, showrunner of The Last of Us, revealed that she was set to return in Season 3 as Gail Lynden, a character with a significant impact linked to Joel’s past. Mazin expressed his sadness over her loss, wishing to see her in more projects. As Season 3 pivots to focus on Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, changes are expected behind the scenes with Neil Druckmann taking a less hands-on role. The season will honor O’Hara’s legacy as it progresses, although a release date is still pending.
