The Last Of Us Showrunner Hints At Big Changes To The Story For Season 2

by

Get ready, The Last of Us Season 2 is almost upon us! Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann promise fans that they have plenty of surprises lined up. Just like the first season, where the story was expanded and rearranged to suit television, Season 2 will also follow a similar pattern. It won’t be the same old thing!

In the upcoming game The Last of Us Part 2, though parts of its narrative will be similar to the original, it boasts a minimum playtime of 25 hours – more than twice as long as the first installment. This means there’s a wealth of storyline to explore and distribute. Speaking with ScreenRant, Mazin expressed optimism about the alterations made and hinted at numerous unexpected twists that will challenge even dedicated fans.

He expressed, “Some aspects we feel, ‘We adore these, yet they might need elaboration or adjustment to suit the fresh platform,’ while others we believe may not work as intended when transferred. I’d advise you to prepare for surprises. We won’t stick to what you anticipate every time. Occasionally, we do what you expect, but in a unique manner, at an unanticipated moment.

Previously, the showrunner mentioned that in order to broaden the narrative, they will be implementing significant modifications to the game’s initial chronology, tailored more suitably for TV production.

In the series, we’re going to creatively manipulate time, following the style of the original work…We made adjustments that we believed were suitable for our show. By “manipulating,” I mean we explored ways to make the narrative as impactful as possible using scientific reasoning.

Mazin requested the supporters’ faith and assured them that they wouldn’t be let down by the modifications. He confidently stated, “By the finale of the season, I believe your satisfaction will be evident.

The television series “The Last of Us” produced by HBO achieved massive popularity, amassing 24 Emmy nominations and winning 8 awards. The impact of the show was instantaneous, with its lead actor Pedro Pascal even dancing a popular dance called twerking alongside Clickers in promotional skits for Saturday Night Live.
