As the mainline show is delayed, Mazin has also given us a hint about spinoffs. Season 2 is fully mapped out by the TLOU HBO team. Some aspects of the series will be exactly the same, like the game. But as it is a series, there will obviously be many new turnarounds, which will surprise the fans for sure. An interesting fact is that season two won’t cover the whole storyline of the second game as such.
