Craig Mazin, the creator behind HBO and Sky Atlantic’s acclaimed Chernobyl television series, is working on a new TV adaptation of The Last of Us.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann will work with Mazin to write the adaptation for HBO, which is currently planned to be a full series, with Mazin also serving as executive producer.
The show, a co-production with Sony Pictures Television in association with PlayStation Productions, will follow the events of the first Last of Us game (which was written by Druckmann), and chart Joel and Ellie’s journey across a post-apocalyptic United States gripped by a deadly pandemic. It may introduce elements of Naughty Dog’s upcoming sequel too.
