Ahead of The Last of Us’ debut on HBO (in Germany on Sky and WOW), Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about his time on the set of the video game adaptation. As we already know, the story of Season 1 of the series will mainly revolve around the first game from 2013. However, Druckmann was also asked whether and how a second season could continue in the future.
The Last of Us Part 2 = Staffel 2?
HBO has not yet commissioned a renewal of The Last of Us. That should probably also depend on the success of the series. However, Neil Druckmann indicates that a second season would deal with the story of The Last of Us Part 2. “We have no plans to tell any story that isn’t an adaptation of the games. We don’t want to have the same problems as Game of Thrones – especially since Part 2 ends without a cliffhanger.” promises the Last of Us creator in an interview.
All fans of the Naughty Dog series already know what that would mean for Season 2 of The Last of Us. New characters will fill important roles in the series. This includes Abby, who – along with Ellie and Joel – is one of the main characters of Part 2. At the time of its launch, the story of the sequel caused some serious controversy among players. Despite all this, no changes are to be expected here.
