Benavente is one of the most accomplished in his field, with his body of work spanning over four decades. As much as he's worked in most genres across film and television, there is no denying that he still encountered challenges trying to adapt Naughty Dog's popular survival franchise, The Last of Us, to one of the most[...]

Now they're among TV royalty working on HBO's The Last of Us, which adapts the two Naughty Dog PlayStation games to the small screen with company president Neil Druckmann acting as series co-creator with Mazin. Benavente has had a 42-year career working on several franchises, from The Goonies, Star Trek, Batman, Terminator, to 21 Jump Street, with almost 150[...]

Back in February, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann shared how they could see Bella Ramsey (Ellie)-starring The Last of Us extending beyond a third season, but they weren't sure how many seasons the total run would be However long the series does end up running, it will be moving forward without Druckmann, who announced today that he[...]

As we recover from the fallout of season two of The Last of Us, HBO is a long way away from season three when the series shifts focus to Part II's co-protagonist, Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), introduced in the season two premiere, "Future Days." The Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann-created series offered a unique way to provide the season two[...]

Sometimes TV isn't simply TV, especially when it comes to franchises with passionate fanbases, as The Last of Us as showrunner Craig Mazin is finding out While the Chernobyl creator has familiarized himself with the games alongside HBO series co-creator in Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann (who worked on both PlayStation titles), he's still surprised over[...]

Since emerging in the scene in 2005 with Fall to Grace, Gabriel Luna's had one hell of an on-screen career appearing in some of the biggest franchises on TV and film including Fox's Prison Break, CBS's NCIS: Los Angeles, HBO's True Detective, ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Paramount's Terminator: Dark Fate (2019), and the most[...]

It sounds like a broken record at this point, but The Last of Us isn't a conventional show While it does dive into traditional narratives, it's also heavily driven by flashbacks, which means there's a little baited breath when creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin shock audiences when recreating pivotal moments of the game It's[...]

There was a lot to unpack in The Last of Us season two finale, and as fans of the games are already familiar with its narrative structure, there's a lot more to come in season three As we've seen throughout the series, particularly season two, one of the typical themes of the apocalyptic series is[...]

To say HBO, Neil Druckmann, and Craig Mazin's The Last of Us season two finale hits differently would be an understatement because there is so much going on As players of Part II can intuitively guess where season three picks up, viewers get to have a mix of everything from the intense drama of a[...]

Young Mazino is making the most of his time on The Last of Us, given how little we see of his character in the seven-episode season two At the very least, he could have some fun along the way in a bit he's involved with co-star Isabela Merced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon[...]

It's safe to say that if Pedro Pascal should return to The Last of Us from here on out, it will never be as involved as this flashback-driven episode, "The Price," which finally provides that much-needed exposition that caused the tension between his Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey's Ellie Williams When we start the episode,[...]

Director Kate Herron knows a thing or two about the responsibility of handling a major IP, helming season one of Marvel's Loki on Disney+. It was also around that time that another IP caught her eye when she stumbled upon Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, the iconic franchise for Sony's PlayStation platforms, with the original game[...]
