Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann revealed how many episodes the Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey-starring show will be in 2025.
There’s only one Last of Us game remaining to adapt but it’s going to take much longer than previously expected. After turning the first Last of Us game into a complete season of television, showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann recently revealed that they have an outline of how they’ll adapt The Last of Us Part II. The outline has multiple natural breakpoints and the first of those, which will encompass season two, is only seven episodes.
“The story material that we got from Part II of the game is way more than the story material that was in the first game, so part of what we had to do from the start was figure out how to tell that story across seasons,” Mazin told Deadline. “When you do that, you look for natural breakpoints, and as we laid it out, this season, the natural breakpoint felt like it came after seven episodes.
