‘The Last of Us’ could have more than two seasons, according to its creators

As everyone has been waiting for, HBO has confirmed the second season of “The Last of Us”, after the incredible reception that the first two chapters have had. And while its creators initially warned it wouldn’t take too long, Craig Mazin now warns that the series could have more than two seasons on the small screen.

In an interview with Gizmodo, Craig Mazin, showrunner of the series, talked about the future projects of ‘The Last of Us’, and said that one second might not cover the events of the second part of the video game. And is that the Naughty Dog sequel is much longer than the original story, which could directly affect the continuation of HBO.

The words of the creator seem to indicate that ‘The Last of Us’ may have more than two seasons: “I think the amount of story we have left to cover would be more than one season of television. So assuming we can move forward, the idea would be to do more than one more season. But this is not the kind of show that will have seven seasons.

As the matter points out, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin have contemplated that “The Last of Us’ have three seasons in its entirety, to complete Ellie’s journey. However, the creators of the series with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey have also shown interest in expanding this apocalyptic universe, but beyond the history of its protagonists.

Could HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ Tell More Stories?

For a long time, the creators of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ have said they didn’t want to make the same mistakes as ‘Game of Thrones’, referring to the fact that they didn’t want to continue with the story without source material. In this regard, Neil Druckmann spoke of his intentions for the future: “Unless a miracle happens, the production work of a video game accelerates by 1000% and the third game appears by magic, I don’t care to go any further”. the original story”.

“As a viewer, I have no problem watching shows that go on and on and on. No problem. But as a writer, I don’t want to be in a position to turn the tables and change things season after season. It’s important to me that things have a purpose, and if they have a purpose, that means they have an end,” concluded Druckmann.

It is undeniable that ‘The Last of Us’ has been impressively successful with just two episodes, looking forward to the third. And although with the arrival of new fans in this world, expanding the series as much as possible seems tempting, but its creators are very clear that they will end up in the same place as the video games.
