Video game adaptations have historically fallen short of fans’ expectations, but HBO’s The Last of Us breaks that trend by faithfully capturing the game’s essence while standing on its own as a remarkable piece of art. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann deserve credit for redefining what a video game adaptation can achieve. Mazin’s success with Chernobyl and Druckmann’s involvement in The Last of Us video game franchise set a strong foundation for the series.
Fans eagerly await the return of The Last of Us for its second season, which promises to continue Joel and Ellie’s story while introducing key characters from The Last of Us Part II.

Who’s joining the cast in The Last of Us season 2?
