Craig Mazin y Neil Druckmann are the co-creators, executive producers, showrunners and directors of The Last of Us.

The second season will consist of seven episodes, two less than season one. One of the episodes will be full-length. There are plans for a potential third season to be significantly longer.

The second season adapts the video game sequel The Last of Us Part IIand it is not expected that all events in the game will be limited to a single season, since the extensive story of multiple characters in the sequel meant that it would cover at least two – or more – seasons.
