While the second season of The Last of Us is eagerly awaited, important statements came from producers Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin. It was stated that the series based on the game’s story will not progress as fast as the game. Accordingly, the story of The Last of Us Part 2 will span three seasons.
The Last of Us Part 2 will be covered in at least three seasons
A new decision was made for the Last of Us series, especially against criticism of the pace of Part 2. The game received a lot of criticism for fitting a 5-year story into 24 hours of gameplay. Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin stated that the story in the game will be covered in at least three seasons.
It is thought that some important events and character development in Part 2 were not covered in depth enough. The Last of Us series producers, on the other hand, said that by spreading the story over multiple seasons, they will provide more space for each episode in the game.
Thus, it will be possible to process characters and relationships in more detail. Events that cannot be given enough time in the game will be presented more effectively in the series.
However, spreading the story over three seasons also carries the risk of slowing down the pace. Druckmann and Mazin said that so far they have had no problems adapting and developing the game material. The four-season plan means that Part 2 will be covered in great depth.
Although HBO has not yet given official confirmation for seasons three and four, Mazin is confident that the series will continue as long as viewers remain interested. Considering that first season broke viewing records, it is likely that Last of Us will continue to stay on screens.
