The Last of Us: Season 2 May Require Multiple Seasons - Gizmodo

While the TV show has brought much of the original 2013 game’s story to life thus far, it’s also knowingly taking some fairly substantial divergences or additions to make the universe feel more lived in and keep fans of the game on their toes.

Following news of the season two renewal, co-showrunner (and the games’ co-director) Neil Druckmann confirmed that The Last of Us’ sophomore outing would be adapting The Last of Us Part II.

And speaking to IGN earlier in the month, co-showrunner Craig Mazin indicated covering that particular game wouldn’t be a one-and-one affair.

Released in 2020 for the PlayStation 4, The Last of Us Part II put players in control of Ellie after a significant time jump.

While being vague as possible for those who didn’t play the game or hear about its plot points, the sequel features several jumps through time and contains a more expansive cast throughout its runtime.

Considering the beats of the sequel’s story, and how the show has so far elected to build upon the first game’s foundation, there’s some interesting possibilities in store for season two.
