The second season of ‘The Last of Us’ will not be able to cover all the events of the sequel to the video game

The final episode of ‘The Last of Us’ has confirmed what the creators of the series, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckman, they had been assuring since it was released: the first season of ‘The Last of Us’ has completely adapted the events that occurred in the original video game. However, with the second season they will have it somewhat more difficult, since the story of the sequel ‘The Last of Us: Part II’ is much longer than the previous game.

In a recent interview with G.Q.Mazin has confessed that the second season of ‘The Last of Us’ will be insufficient to cover everything that happens in the 2020 video game. “No. There’s no way we can do it all in one season. It will be more than one season.”

And be careful, because he is not saying that it will be two more seasons that HBO will premiere, but that it will be “more than one”, and that ambiguity is more than sought after. “You’ve noticed that I haven’t said how many. But more than one is objectively correct.” Without elaborating.

Druckmann adds: “Some of the things I’m most excited about [en la Parte II] it’s the changes we’ve discussed and seeing the story come to life again in this other version,” he said. “And I think it’s exciting because it builds on those feelings you had from the game, in a lot of new ways.” Because yes, the second season will differ more from the source material than the first.”Sometimes it will be radically different, and other times there will be no difference between the ‘The Last of Us’ series and the video game., but it will be different, something of its own. It won’t be exactly like the game, but it will be the version that Neil and I want to make,” Mazin added at a recent press conference.

One of those changes is already confirmed, and that is the time jump between the two seasons will be much less than that between the games. In them, Ellie goes from being 14 years old to 19, something that will not happen in the series because the creators have confirmed that they will once again have Bella Ramsay (who is actually 19 years old) and that they will not hire a different actress to demonstrate the change.

“The only way we would ever consider not casting Bella again is if she said, ‘I don’t want to work with you anymore.‘” Mazin has come to say. “And even then, we’re not sure we’d give him that. We could still force her back for season 2“.
