The Last of Us : une saison 2 “probable”, selon Bella Ramsey

After barely two episodes aired, the series The Last of Us is already a great success. The adaptation of the famous video game has signed one of the best starts of the HBO channel and shows increasing audiences. What make actress Bella Ramsey optimistic for a potential sequel.

The Last of Us Part II soon adapted?

It is to our colleagues from the BBC that the interpreter of Ellie confided that a season 2 was in the pipes.

“If people keep watching, I think a second is quite likely. It will depend on the folks at HBO. There is nothing confirmed at the moment, so we will have to wait and see what happens”, she said. An obviously cautious response from the actress who has already come across in Game of Thronesbut which aligns with the words of the creators of the series, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporterthe latter had announced their plans for a potential second season of the series, as well as their intention to adapt the game faithfully The Last of Us Part II released in 2020. “We don’t intend to tell stories beyond adapting games”had thus declared Neil Druckmann.

And Craig Mazin to complete: “I don’t like filler episodes (…) I have no interest in making an endless series. When it becomes some sort of perpetual motion machine, it can’t help but get a little… dumb. Endings mean everything to me.” What to avoid The Last of Us to fall into the same trap The Walking Dead.

Those who have played this sequel know how much more ambitious it is than the original 2013 game. An adaptation challenge that the creators of the series have undoubtedly already tackled. Because if a season 2 has not yet been formalized by HBO, the public and critical success of the series suggests that its announcement is only a matter of time.

Series The Last of Us consists of nine episodes broadcast weekly in France on Amazon Prime Video, every Monday.
