THE LAST OF US Series Creators Are Open to Spinoffs It'd Just Have to Make Sense

The first season of HBO’s series adaptation of The Last of Us was pretty damn great, and there’s still a good amount of story to tell for that series. But, there’s certainly room for spinoffs, if that’s something that the creative team would be up for doing. As it turns out, they aren’t opposed to it.

Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann recently talked to The Wrap about the show and when asked about the possibility of spinoff shows, Mazin said:

"We haven’t talked about that specifically because we’re so focused on just telling this main narrative. I’m not against the idea of other shows that may draw from these characters or that world. I don’t know how much more The Last of Us I personally would be able to do. I mean, these shows are so big, I’m sort of burning one of the precious few remaining decades I have on telling this story. But in principle, I have no issue with it whatsoever. And I’m sure Neil would be interested as well."

Mazin went on to say that the story any spinoff would tell would have to make sense. He said:

"If there was something that made sense, then I don’t see why not. My great hope is that if there is anything like that, that it’s done with as much care and respect and love as what we are applying to this series right now."

The big question is, if there was a spinoff series, what would you like that spinoff series to focus on? What part of this story or world would you like to be explored more and expanded on?
