Neil Druckmann: Last News

HBO‘s hit live-TV adaptation of The Last Of Us could last around four seasons, according to showrunner Craig Mazin.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Mazin teased that his and The Last Of Us creator Neil Druckmann’s vision for the HBO series could see it last anywhere between three to five seasons, though he thinks “four seems like a good number”.“It can end up being three or five. But four seems like a good number.

The Last Of Us Season 2 will not have another special episode for side characters like season one did. In season one we saw that episode three was completely about the characters Bill and Frank. This will not happen in the next season and it is good news for the main character, Ellie.

The Last Of Us is a huge hit and it always has been. Now, according to new remarks from executive producer Craig Mazin, HBO’s TLOU will go for at least 3 Seasons. “It’s going to be more than one season.

The Last Of Us Part 2, is a game that was released just three years ago. TLOU Part 2 was a game loved and hated by many, but overall it was accepted pretty well. With the release of HBO’s The Last Of Us, popularity for the franchise shot back up thanks to Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s amazing job as Joel and Ellie.

HBO’s The Last Of Us is gearing up for what could be a very successful awards season. This TV adaptation of Naughty Dog’s former Game Of The Year Award winner has been a huge hit and it’s really showing. TLOU could have a nice clean sweep in a wide range of categories.

Aside from a handful of outliers like The X-Files, a four-time Outstanding Drama Series nominee, the top Emmy drama category had not been very welcoming to genre shows. That changed in a big way with HBO’s fantasy series Game Of Thrones, which became a four-time drama series winner.

The Last Of Us is a beloved franchise, and a Part 3 is inevitable. Both previous titles have been massive hits for Sony and Naughty Dog. Interests in the franchise spiked earlier this year as HBO Max and Neil Druckmann nailed the TV adaptation of TLOU Part 1.

“The Last of Us” bosses originally had someone else in mind to play Joel Miller instead of Pedro Pascal.

It’s hard to imagine The Last of Us without Pedro Pascal, but cocreator Craig Mazin revealed that there was another contender for the role of Joel — Matthew McConaughey.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Before Pedro Pascal landed the male lead in HBO’s adaptation of the hugely popular “The Last of Us” video game, rumors swirled that co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann were trying to lure former “True Detective” stars Mahershala Ali and Matthew McConaughey back to the network to headline the series. Mazin finally sounded off on the casting rumors during a recent interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “I actually never talked to Mahershala,” Mazin said before confirming that talks with McConaughey did in fact take place. However, it sounds like McConaughey’s casting never made it past early discussions about the project.

In HBO’s hit series The Last of Us, it’s the end of the world as most of humanity knows it, but Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey feel just fine. Long gone are the traces of the hardened survivor Joel (Pascal) and the teenage spitfire Ellie (Ramsey), who must endure the collapse of modern civilization due to a deadly mutable fungus that turns people into zombie-like creatures. Well, sort of. Comfortably sat within the confines of a secluded lounge at the Directors Guild of America, the pair are swapping inside jokes and bursting with laughter. While Pascal trades in Joel’s stoicism for passion, Ramsey can’t quite shake the penchant for Ellie’s habitual cussing.
