HBO's tilpasning af Naughty Dogs bedst sælgende og anmelderroste spil om Ellie og Joel fortsætter ufortrødent, og alle, der har set sæson to, ved, hvad der venter i den kommende sæson tre: Abby.
Denne gang vil en stor del af historien fokusere på hende, hendes indre dæmoner som medlem af Washington Liberation Front (tidligere Fireflies) - og ikke mindst det faktum, at hun myrdede Joel i koldt blod efter at have jagtet ham i over et år.
Sæson to blev generelt taget rigtig godt imod og er for nylig blevet nomineret til hele 16 Emmys. Alligevel har der lydt kritik af, at historien til tider føltes forhastet, og at showrunner Craig Mazin sprang over flere centrale elementer fra spillet.
Nu forsøger Mazin at imødekomme kritikken og lover en længere og mere indholdsrig tredje sæson - noget han for nylig afslørede i et interview med The Hollywood Reporter.
"Season 3 will be longer than Season 2. Season 3 will be more on par with Season 1. More bang for the buck."
Mazin adresserede også det faktum, at The Last of Us-styrmand Neil Druckmann fra Naughty Dog for nylig forlod tv-serien for at fokusere på studiets kommende to spil:
"I was pretty much a monk just writing in a room by myself for most of the time regardless. And I've gotten so much out of talking with Naughty Dog over the course of Seasons 1 and 2. When we made Season 2, we really were thinking about what comes after because you can't really tell half of that story without thinking about what the whole story should be. So we really did get that work in. Neil's always had a full-time job running Naughty Dog, so it's always been me up in Canada where the production is, and ultimately, things are pretty much going to proceed as usual."
