Adapting one of the best video games of all time for television was always going to be a big ask. Now the pressure is truly on for The Last of Us when it comes to its third season, given that the show is losing one of its showrunners, who also happens to be the man who created this universe in the first place. After sticking it out for two seasons, The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann announced he wouldn't be handling season 3 of the show and that instead his focus was shifting back to Naughty Dog and upcoming projects.
As a result, the show's co-creator, Craig Mazin, has now taken complete control, putting both hands on the wheel from here on out. But while he might be keeping his distance from the series, which left on a cliffhanger, teeing up Abby's (Kaitlyn Dever) side of the story, Druckmann has confirmed he'll still be in a safe proximity to it and hopes to see it check one important box when it's finally completed.
