After rave reviews from critics and fans alike and strong viewership for its initial episodes, HBO’s live-action television adaptation of “The Last of Us” has scored a renewal for a second season. But while fans of the video games might assume Season 2 would adapt “The Last of Us: Part II” and that would be the end of the story, showrunner Craig Mazin says there’s potentially more than two seasons worth of story in the complete “Last of Us” saga on HBO.
While Season 1 has focused on the events of the first game, the show’s co-creator Craig Mazin suggested to the TheWrap during an interview that the story of “Part II” is so big, it could extend beyond one season.
