HBO - The Last of Us

@HBO: Look for the light.

@clmazin and @Neil_Druckmann to develop the series adaptation of #TheLastOfUs, coming soon to HBO: http://itsh.bo/thelastofus https://twitter.com/HBO/status/12356...572032/video/1

The Last of Us' Series in the Works at HBO From 'Chernobyl' Creator Craig Mazin, Neil Druckmann (Exclusive)

MARCH 05, 2020 9:30AMby*Borys Kit, Patrick Shanley

Craig Mazin, the creator of the acclaimed limited series*Chernobyl,*is reteaming with HBO adapt*The Last of Us, the massive Sony PlayStation video game franchise.
In a rare development in the world of video game adaptations, the writer and creative director of the game, Neil Druckmann, is also involved, and will work with Mazin to pen and executive produce what is intended to be a series.

Carolyn Strauss will also executive produce along with Evan Wells, the president of Naughty Dog, the Santa Monica-based developer of the game. The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and in association with PlayStation Productions and it will be the first television series from PlayStation Productions.
Originally launched in 2013, Sony and Naughty Dog’s*The Last of Us*garnered critical praise for its engrossing tale of the post-apocalypse centered on the relationship between Joel, a smuggler in this new world, and Ellie, a teenager who may be a key to a cure for the deadly pandemic.
Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle the14-year-old girl out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival. The HBO series will cover the events of the original game, which was written by Druckmann, with the possibility of additional content based on the forthcoming game sequel,*The Last of Us Part II, which will release on May 29, 2020.
Mazin, who is said to be an avid player of the game, stated, “Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and*The Last of Us*is his magnum opus. Getting a chance to adapt this breathtaking work of art has been a dream of mine for years, and I’m so honored to do it in partnership with Neil.”
“From the first time I sat down to talk with Craig I was equally blown away by his approach to narrative and his love and deep understanding of*The Last of Us,” said Druckmann in a statement. “With*Chernobyl, Craig and HBO created a tense, harrowing, emotional masterpiece. I couldn’t think of better partners to bring the story of*The Last of Us*to life as a television show.”
Last of Us*won numerous “game of the year” awards and went on to sell more than 17 million copies across both its original release on the PlayStation 3 and a remastered version on the PlayStation 4.
“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us to partner with Craig, Neil, Carolyn and the teams at Sony, Naughty Dog and PlayStation to bring the virtual world of this acclaimed game to life,” stated HBO programming president Casey Bloys.
“This is the first of many shows we intend to develop with our friends at PlayStation Productions,” said Chris Parnell, co-president of Sony Pictures Television Studios.*The Last of Us*is a brilliant achievement in storytelling and character development, and we are lucky to have the opportunity to work with this team to adapt it.”
Druckmann is a longtime vet of Naughty Dog, starting as a programming intern in 2004. In 2007, he was given the role of game designer on*Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the first installment in the action adventure series. In 2013, he created*The Last of Us, based on a concept he developed as a student at Carnegie Mellon University.
Mazin’s*Chernobyl*tackled a bleak and complex true-life event and became a must-see show for HBO. The show won an Emmy for outstanding limited series and landed one for Mazin for outstanding writing. Mazin also won a PGA and a WGA Award.


Holy shit this is gonna be awesome.

Also, for those of you a bit thrown off by Joel being completely bedridden then up on his feet and killing/torturing folks within a minute, there was a pretty significant stretch of time in the game before he got up even after the penicillin. After last week's episode felt too drawn out this one felt too compact. Both fantastic but not perfect.

I feel a simple "One Week Later" at the bottom of the screen would have helped. Give him a week with some antibiotics and you could understand why.

Also, I love that Ellie was just "**** it...I'll give him this much". lol

Loved this episode. It had the tension that I missed from the last one and I liked seeing dark Joel do whatever he had to do to get back to Ellie. That was a good way of showing that he's done some ****ed up shit in the past without having to show a flashback or expressly telling us.

Can't believe there's only 1 episode left

I am not familiar with the video game, but without going into spoilers how much new content is available for a season 2?

I was wondering this as well. How far along are we in the video game? Is the first game going to stretch through season 2?

Game 1 will end this weekend with season 1. Game 2 is roughly double the content of the season/game 1. I think I've read they are planning on having the second game be two seasons.

Is there any possibility it goes longer without game content or are we looking at 3 total seasons? Like does the 2nd game leave anything open without spoiling of course.

I've heard rumor of a third game, but nothing definitive at all. The second game's ending (which would be Season 3 of the show, as some have mentioned here - which is the prevailing thought, but not yet confirmed) leaves a lot of avenues open to explore. Without spoiling anything, I'd say it's ripe for exploration. Maybe even more so for a cinematic experience than a video game.

Agree with this, was just curious if it's a possibility or not

Wut? They already bastardized the first game enough with the sequel. Leave it the **** alone, please and thanks.

I've heard rumors for up to 4 seasons. I assume they'll make a 3rd game. Back to back game of the years
I liked the 2nd one but man it hits hard AF and is depressing. I've never played that type of game. I get why some don't like it or what happened in it.

It took them 6 years to do the second game and from what I have read, they have had very basic talks about a third game. As a huge fan of both games, I hope they do not make a third honestly. The second game ended with just enough closure while still being open ended enough for personal speculation I don't think story wise it would be necessary. I think a 3rd game would have to be based around new characters but in the same world.
