But we knew what we were going to do in terms of costumes, makeup and hair, but more importantly, we also knew the mind and soul of the actor.

By the way, she’s 19 years old now, this is Ellie’s age at the end of us season two. People said, “She doesn’t look like this character,” and I said, “It’s okay, let’s see what happens. Let’s see.” Now that they know, I think there is still this constant anxiety. All I can tell you guys is that I’m very nervous about doing this well myself. I worry too, and if you’re worried about something, I’m probably worried too, which means we’re talking about it and thinking about it. We will show something, but it will be different, it will be different, like this season will be different. Sometimes it’s completely different, sometimes it’s barely different. But it will be different, and it will be its own thing. It won’t quite look like a game, but it’s a show that Neil and I want to make. We’re doing it with Bella.
Neil Druckmann: I’d like to add that when we were making the game, I think we were very lucky to find Ashley Johnson, like lightning in a bottle. I can’t imagine that version of Ellie is anyone else, and then somehow we have a lightning strike in the bottle with Bella. We are very fortunate to have seen Bella throughout the season. The only way we would consider re-casting Bella would be if she said, “I don’t want to work with you guys anymore.” Even then, we’re not sure we’ll agree with her, and we can still force her back.
