Neil Druckmann has great hopes for “ The Last of Us ” season 3

It was a shock to learn that Neil Druckmann, creator of The last of us And the co-creator of the television adaptation, left the show after his second season. Many wondered if there was a deeper reason behind the exit, but as Druckmann explained since then, he had stretched so thin in recent years, he thought it was time to come back strictly to video games. In addition, he left the show between the very good hands of Craig Mazin. The last of us Would be good.

In a new interview, Druckmann spoke a little more about his decision to leave as well as his expectations for season three of the show. “My hope for season three, and what I would like to think that I can help it is to make sure that it is as deeply faithful as the first season,” Druckmann told Variety. “Because I have the impression that it is the gold stallion for this kind of adaptation, while taking advantage of all these beautiful extensions which occur naturally with the rest of the team and how they work on season three. This is where my involvement will remain at this very, very high level.”

This statement aligns with everything we have heard of season three, namely that the show will largely transform Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, just like in video games. Interesting fact, however, Druckmann teases that season three will not be the end of The last of us Franchise as a whole. Mazin previously said that television adaptation could go beyond season three, but Druckmann seems to tease even more.

“With the show, I hope that we are going to finish this story in a deeply faithful way, in the same way that we have started, and it will be the end of this version of the story. But this is not the end of The last of us For Naughty Dog, “he said.” This does not necessarily mean that this will happen inside or outside – we are in talks to do several things. “”

What could come for The last of us? We don’t think it’s a new video game. In the same interview, Druckmann admits that they thought a lot about a third game after the second part but decided not to do it. So are these television repercussions? Comics? Animated show?
