The Last of Us TV Show Will Do One Big Thing The Games Did Not (Exclusive) | Gaming News And Rumors 2023

While The Last of Us is heavily following its source material in the form of The Last of Us Part I, the critically acclaimed PlayStation game, there are a few changes being made

for the sake of TV's adaptation of the masterful story. In one case, there is a big element of the game which is not going to be featured in the show. In the case of this article,

there is an element of the world of The Last of Us which was not heavily featured in the game which will be a bigger part of the show which may be considered a bit of spoiler for

viewers so consider this your warning! The Last of Us executive producer Craig Mazin, who previously delivered HBO's Chernobyl, opened up about adding elements to The Last of Us

for television which will explore the days and ways where the world as it was known came to an end. The Last of Us viewers will be treated to a considerable amount of details

which examine the virus which caused society and humanity to crumble and the day it fell. Gamers remember the opening sequence with Joel, his brother Tommy, and his daughter Sarah

quite well. This is just the tip of the iceberg for the TV show, though. "In the games, because you're playing as Joel, there's really no reason for anybody to say, 'Hey, let's

talk about a thing we all already know,'" Mazin explained. "But, once we got into this, especially when Joel and Ellie are together and alone, her natural curiosity seemed like a

great way to kind of explore filling in some of the questions people might have watching the show." Joel will be played by The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal, with Game of

Thrones star Bella Ramsey checking in as Ellie.The games, The Last of Part I and The Last of Us Part II, focus almost entirely on the characters in the post-apocalyptic world. The

Last of Us on television will spend some more time seeing how they and their world got there. "I know I'm a very curious person. I want to know how things work," Mazin said. "I

want to know why they went wrong and once Joel starts to explain and fill in some of those gaps, some of the things that happen in the very first episode suddenly take on a

slightly different meaning and a little bit more resonance. So, I think it's just a product of my natural curiosity. I think people would want to know. You don't want to bore

people with lots of exposition but, again, I made a show where I guy stood up and explained how a nuclear reactor worked. I thought, 'Hey, I could do this again with the fungus. I

can do it!'" (Photo: HBO / The Last of Us)While rumors of The Last of Us Part III have begun to swirl, Mazin does not want to keep the TV show around longer than he will see it
