No, sorry, there won’t be a Bill and Frank TV spin-off for The Last of Us after all. Series co-creator Craig Mazin has said the crew is happy with what it accomplished with those characters in the first season, and as such “there won’t be more Bill and Frank”.
Mazin’s comments come after Bill actor Nick Offerman said a The Last of Us spin-off following the two survivors had been pitched to HBO. “I think we pitched a whole mini-series of a prequel of their lives before they met each other,” Offerman said, before joking: “It could be a musical. We’re not short on ideas. We’ll just, we’ll see what Craig [Mazin] and Neil [Druckmann] come up with.”
Speaking with Deadline, Mazin reiterated that Offerman was joking with his previous comments, which were made following the actor’s Emmy win. “I’m very proud of the episode we did with Bill and Frank,” Mazin said, later adding: “We are very happy with what we achieved.”
