The Last of Us' Series in the Works at HBO From 'Chernobyl' Creator Craig Mazin, Neil Druckmann (Exclusive)

MARCH 05, 2020 9:30AMby*Borys Kit, Patrick Shanley

Craig Mazin, the creator of the acclaimed limited series*Chernobyl,*is reteaming with HBO adapt*The Last of Us, the massive Sony PlayStation video game franchise.
In a rare development in the world of video game adaptations, the writer and creative director of the game, Neil Druckmann, is also involved, and will work with Mazin to pen and executive produce what is intended to be a series.

Carolyn Strauss will also executive produce along with Evan Wells, the president of Naughty Dog, the Santa Monica-based developer of the game. The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and in association with PlayStation Productions and it will be the first television series from PlayStation Productions.
Originally launched in 2013, Sony and Naughty Dog’s*The Last of Us*garnered critical praise for its engrossing tale of the post-apocalypse centered on the relationship between Joel, a smuggler in this new world, and Ellie, a teenager who may be a key to a cure for the deadly pandemic.
Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle the14-year-old girl out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival. The HBO series will cover the events of the original game, which was written by Druckmann, with the possibility of additional content based on the forthcoming game sequel,*The Last of Us Part II, which will release on May 29, 2020.
Mazin, who is said to be an avid player of the game, stated, “Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and*The Last of Us*is his magnum opus. Getting a chance to adapt this breathtaking work of art has been a dream of mine for years, and I’m so honored to do it in partnership with Neil.”
“From the first time I sat down to talk with Craig I was equally blown away by his approach to narrative and his love and deep understanding of*The Last of Us,” said Druckmann in a statement. “With*Chernobyl, Craig and HBO created a tense, harrowing, emotional masterpiece. I couldn’t think of better partners to bring the story of*The Last of Us*to life as a television show.”
Last of Us*won numerous “game of the year” awards and went on to sell more than 17 million copies across both its original release on the PlayStation 3 and a remastered version on the PlayStation 4.
“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us to partner with Craig, Neil, Carolyn and the teams at Sony, Naughty Dog and PlayStation to bring the virtual world of this acclaimed game to life,” stated HBO programming president Casey Bloys.
“This is the first of many shows we intend to develop with our friends at PlayStation Productions,” said Chris Parnell, co-president of Sony Pictures Television Studios.*The Last of Us*is a brilliant achievement in storytelling and character development, and we are lucky to have the opportunity to work with this team to adapt it.”
Druckmann is a longtime vet of Naughty Dog, starting as a programming intern in 2004. In 2007, he was given the role of game designer on*Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the first installment in the action adventure series. In 2013, he created*The Last of Us, based on a concept he developed as a student at Carnegie Mellon University.
Mazin’s*Chernobyl*tackled a bleak and complex true-life event and became a must-see show for HBO. The show won an Emmy for outstanding limited series and landed one for Mazin for outstanding writing. Mazin also won a PGA and a WGA Award.

Holy shit this is gonna be awesome.

Wasn’t the Asian woman stuck down there the one from the opening scene?

Ramsey did a fine job of acting at the end, too.

Her son (if you're talking about the dead one stuck in the fungus).

Yeah, B2 was awesome. We’re not meant to care about the WLF but seeing their fate was pretty ****ed up.

Do they explain why that particular area was full of spores but nowhere else we’ve seen has had an airborne infection?

Spoiler!

I think the hospital was like ground zero. I believe they said it was the first place a patient was taken, so maybe that's why.

Yeah, I do remember them saying that and figured that may have had something to do with it. Just seems weird that we’ve been all across the country and this is the only instance we’ve come across this circumstance.

I suppose weird shit is going on regardless ‘cause those stalker smart zombies are apparently new as well.

Is Ellie going to be smart enough to use the basement to her advantage?

ThaVirus · 05-12-2025, 02:13 PM

I wouldn’t. That place is creepy af and I’d be looking to get out of there ASAP.

She isn't your ordinary girl.

The infected areas will be the most fortified and defended areas anyway. No way she will be able to enter WLF facilities from there.

Really good episode...next one is going to great.

Imagine the blowback they would get if it was just “all just a dream” ending.

The real ending is so much worse.

Is there going to be a season 3? There hasn’t been a part 3 of the game series right?

She appears to be in the medical field. She would have known better than anyone that she was sealing her fate. I'd have taken my chances with Ellie. At least there was a chance she could be spared. Hell, if she could have stalled for like 12 seconds backup would have come for her and maybe she escapes the gunfight.
