HBO is working on a TV series adaptation of acclaimed PlayStation exclusive The Last of Us, with Naughty Dog Vice President (and writer/creative director on The Last of Us) Neil Druckmann leading the charge. Druckmann will team up with Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin to bring the show to life, though few other details have been announced. This adaptation will be a collaboration with Sony Pictures Television, as part of the company?s PlayStation Productions initiative, which started with the goal of turning games into films (and TV series). The Last of Us will follow the events of the first game, with Ellie and Joel as its protagonists. No casting announcements have been made yet.
As Variety reports, Mazin feels strongly about the partnership with Druckmann, saying:
