The TV series will likely adapt core elements of the game, including the aftermath of Joel (Pedro Pascal) rescuing Ellie (Bella Ramsey) from the Fireflies, who intend to kill her in hopes of creating a cure for the cordyceps mutation.
Talk to VarietyDrukman confirmed The last of us Season 2 will include a major scene that offers deeper backstory for an important character As the video game series provided. The creator explains how he wants the series to complement the games, citing changes made to Bill’s (Nick Offerman) story in season 1. While he didn’t confirm which character will get more backstory, he hinted that it will compliment their Video game counterpart too. Check out what Druckman had to say below:
What I’ve really enjoyed now is that sometimes it’s the people who watched the show and then went and played the game and talked about, what a cool experience. The game sometimes hints at stuff that we just do not have time to get into the show that the game can, and vice versa. If you experience both, they are both richer for it. And I love hearing people’s experiences. They tell me, like, ‘I watch the show and then I play the game, and I really like how different the Bill sequence is, and that gives me this other insight into it.’ And there’s stuff in this season that I’m really excited about — stuff that we hinted at — one scene in particular comes to mind that I think fans of the game will eat up, because it really tells you a lot of the backstory of this important character that there isn’t really a way for us to do that in the game.
What Druckmann’s confirmation means for The Last of Us Season 2
The show will follow a similar formula to Season 1
