The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann and series co-creator Craig Mazin have spoken about how early the season finale’s opening scene with Ellie’s mother has been in the works.
The Last of Us is now available to watch on HBO and HBO Max.
The idea was originally going to be made into an animated short that never ended up coming together.
“The live-action series takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed,” reads the synopsis.
