The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann announced today that he won't be involved with the show's upcoming third season, and that's probably bad news for the live screen adaptation.
Druckmann has only contributed as a writer for five of the 16 episodes of the show so far (he's directed two of them), but I can only feel like his guidance will be missed, considering he's the writer behind both TLOU video games. He knows these characters better than anybody, for better or worse, and losing his influence will assumedly leave showrunner Craig Mazin in control as the main writer, and that's a bit scary.
