In a recent interview with Variety, Melanie Lynskey expressed her willingness to return for a limited series spinoff that explores the origin story of her character, Kathleen.
“If they wanted to go back and do an origin story, I would be there for it,” Lynskey said. “The story of how this woman got into this crazy position would be really interesting.”
While Lynskey initially expressed interest in the idea, she later took to Twitter to clarify that she did not pitch the idea herself and that she was responding to a reporter’s question. Lynskey’s clarification came after a misleading headline from an article caused confusion among fans, who believed that she had pitched the idea of a Kathleen origin story herself. In her Twitter post, Lynskey explained that she was simply trying to be polite and supportive during a busy red carpet event and would do anything Craig Mazin, the showrunner for The Last of Us, asked her to do.
