The Last of Us was undoubtedly one of the most successful and beloved video game franchises of recent years. So, when it was announced that the game would be adapted into a TV series for HBO, fans were understandably excited. However, there has been some speculation as to whether the show will deviate from the source material, particularly from the divisive sequel, The Last of Us Part II.
In a recent interview with Deadline at the Sundance Film Festival, star Pedro Pascal shed some light on the possibility of the TV adaptation taking a different path than the games. Pascal acknowledged that differences between the game and the TV show are bound to occur, as the creators are constantly finding ways to build on the incredible source material and surprise viewers with new formats. While he didn't have all the information at the time, Pascal hinted at possible deviations without spoiling anything for eager fans.
