Joel could be less emotionally stunted, allowing the series to delve deeper into the bond that is going to form between the smuggler and Ellie. Expanding on the lore, the narrative, and the world-building of a successful franchise is not an easy task, meaning that the HBO series will likely take creative risks that could alter the perception of events and the characters involved in them. With this in mind, fans of The Last of Us games shouldn't expect the series to be a new story, they should instead think of it as the same story told in a different way. How The Last of Us Series Could Change The Last of Us Part 3 RELATED: The Last of Us 3: The Case to Retire Ellie In turn, this could lead to the series slowly but steadily drift from what the original story was, and it could take a long time before it gets on track with the events of The Last of Us Part 2 - if at all. Considering HBO is not trying to make it a standalone mini-series like the acclaimed Chernobyl, this could mean that the first season of The Last of Us might not cover everything that happens in the first game, especially because Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are seeking to expand the story. The television series is set to last for ten episodes in total. Naughty Dog had a rich story and world built for The Last of Us, which translated into roughly 20 hours of content excluding the Left Behind DLC. However, HBO's work is also set to stray a bit from the original narrative. The Last of Us series will feature Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, with plenty of other great actors playing various characters the duo interacts with throughout the game. To further show just how much of a legacy the first The Last of Us game left, HBO is shooting a television series inspired by Naughty Dog's creative endeavor that is allegedly coming late next year. Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering creator Wizards of the Coast has also announced it is partnering with Netflix and the Russo Brothers to produce a Magic: The Gathering animated series.When Naughty Dog released The Last of Us, it likely didn't expect that it would become such a hit, leading to a sequel. A live-action series based upon Square Enix’s MMO RPG Final Fantasy XIV is also in development by Sony Pictures Television and Hivemind, the company that brought the highly successful The Witcher series to Netflix.

We’ve also shared information about the Borderlands movie to be directed by Eli Roth, an animated Ni No Kuni movie coming to Netflix, plus Ubisoft has announced it is reimagining even more of its gaming franchises as TV shows. This is just one of several game IPs coming to screens both big and small, most recently The Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which opened to a bumper debut weekend and generating over $113 million (£86.6m) globally across its opening weekend. 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. “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.” “This is the first of many shows we intend to develop with our friends at PlayStation Productions,” added Chris Parnell, co-president of Sony Pictures Television Studios. “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,” said HBO programming president, Casey Bloys. I couldn’t think of better partners to bring the story of The Last of Us to life as a television show.” “With Chernobyl, Craig and HBO created a tense, harrowing, emotional masterpiece. “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. “Getting a chance to adapt this breathtaking work of art has been a dream of mine for years, and I’m so honoured to do it in partnership with Neil.” “Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and The Last of Us is his magnum opus,” Mazin told The Hollywood Reporter. This is PlayStation Productions’ first confirmed project. The venture is led by SIE chairman of Worldwide Studios Shawn Layden, and headed up by Sony veteran Asad Qizilbash. Sony revealed PlayStation Productions last year, confirming the new studio had been designed specifically to bring video game stories to TV and film.
