‘Somebody Else Will Be Handling That’ The Last of Us Showrunner Explains Why They Won’t Return for Any Potential Spin-Offs

As anticipation builds for the return of The Last of Us Season 2, showrunner Craig Mazin has revealed that adapting the second game will likely mark his final involvement with the franchise. While Season 2 will continue adapting The Last of Us Part 2, Mazin shared that he doesn’t plan to take part in any future spin-offs, stating this will be his “last Last of Us.” He remains a fan of the universe, but if the series expands beyond the core narrative, he believes it’s time for someone else to take over.
