The Last of Us showrunner says the key to writing the show is asking Neil Druckmann "a lot of annoying questions" to figure out the "kinds of stories we can tell"

The Last of Us.

Even in the first season, The Last of Us reveled in filling in the gaps of Naughty Dog's brutal and brilliant video game source material.

Bill and Frank's standalone romance proved to be a high watermark and, as showrunner Craig Mazin tells GamesRadar+, those chances to flesh out the world of the series comes from asking fellow showrunner and game director Neil Druckmann a whole bunch of "annoying" questions to interrogate the background behind everything that makes it onto our screens.
