Today, Neil Druckmann, one of the co-showrunners and the brain behind “The Last of Us” video game series, shared some news about Season 3 of the show. This update might leave some enthusiasts feeling less than thrilled.
Who is stepping down from The Last of Us TV show?
On Naughty Dog’s official X platform, Druckmann shared that he will be reducing his creative influence in the HBO series based on the game.
As a gamer, I’m sharing that Neil Druckmann, the creative mind behind many of my favorite games, has announced he’ll be moving on from the show before significant work on Season 3 begins. He’s choosing to fully dedicate himself to Naughty Dog’s ongoing projects, with their upcoming sci-fi game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, being one of them.
Consequently, Craig Mazin, who previously collaborated with Druckmann as co-showrunners, is expected to carry on with the writing and direction of the series.
Neil Druckmann announced that he will be stepping back from his creative role in “The Last of Us” on HBO. He made this decision after finishing work on season 2 and before any significant work begins on season 3. This moment seems ideal for him to redirect all his focus towards Naughty Dog and its upcoming projects, including writing, directing, and overseeing the studio as Studio Head and Head of Creative, particularly for their next game, “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Working side by side with Craig Mazin on producing, directing, and writing for the final two seasons of this show has been a career pinnacle. It’s been a privilege to collaborate with such a talented team, who approached each episode with great care and commitment as they adapted The Last of Us Part I and continued adapting The Last of Us Part II. I am profoundly grateful for their thoughtful work and dedication.
Currently, Druckmann holds the positions of both head and creative director at Naughty Dog. He’s recognized for developing the acclaimed The Last of Us video game series, and collaborating on the creation of the associated TV show.
