The Last of Us series concluded with the release of its ninth final episode last Monday, achieving record overall viewership on HBO. The series will continue for a second season that will deviate slightly from quoting the second part of the game, unlike the first season, which quoted the first part of the game almost verbatim.
In one of the interviews conducted with Neil Druckmann AND Craig Mazin The creators of The Last of Us revealed that the ending would be different from the game's. You know we're going to discuss the ending here. So if you haven't played the game or watched the series, you've been warned.
At the end of the first part of the game and the series, Joel saves Ellie from being killed by the Fireflies. This group believed that killing the girl and taking her blood, which is immune to the virus, could help find a cure. But Joel kills everyone in the hospital operating room and manages to save our beloved Ellie.
So, in the end, Joel lies to Ellie about everything that happened at the hospital and makes up another story. Of course, Ellie asks him to swear that what he told her is true. Indeed, he does, and the game ends, and the series ends with him. But this ending would have been different, so he mentioned Druckmann That the camera should go to the city of Jackson, where the events of the second part of the series and the game took place, and “Eli” goes, and then “Jules” follows her, and then the camera moves away.
But of course, the decision was made to follow the game's ending verbatim and not add any more cutscenes. Especially since now people know a second season is in the works, whereas when the game was released, no one knew the studio was working on a second part.
Remember that the second season of the series may start filming this year, and it will be different from the second part of the game, so will it continue to be successful?
