The Last of Us season 1 is almost at the end of its initial broadcast. Focusing on the first part of the game, Last of Us season 1 told the story of the veteran smuggler Joel, journeying with the last hope of humanity, Ellie.

When asked about how the upcoming season plans to tackle the story of the protagonists, especially Joel’s, Troy said, “Hopefully the same. Because it’ll show that we did the story justice. It’s very similar to the ending of “Part I.” Love it or hate it — if you have an opinion on it, then we did our job. Going forward, there will be more moments like that for you to wrestle with.”
Nevertheless, Baker admitted that the show is planning to stay true to its source material and move forward with the controversial storyline. However, the creators of the show may change some aspects of the story just as they have done for Season 1 of the hit show. Additionally, the creators could opt to make improvements to the story to suit the medium of television better.
