The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has revealed the show’s second season will be shorter in terms of episode count than the first, but there is a reason for that.
Speaking with Deadline, Mazin confirmed the second season of The Last of Us will comprise seven episodes, with one of those episodes being “quite big” in length.
“We just want to put people’s minds at ease that the idea that this season coming up is a little bit shorter than the first one is not because we’re taking less time to tell the stories, it’s because we want to take more time,” Mazin said. “The story that we’re telling is much bigger than the story of season one, there’s just a lot more going on, it’s a lot harder to produce but we want every episode to feel like its own blockbuster to be honest with you.
