Storyline details
S02 to follow 'The Last of Us Part II' narrative
The upcoming season will likely delve into a portion of The Last of Us Part II, the sequel to the original video game.
Showrunner Craig Mazin previously revealed in an interview that the entire story would be split over two or more seasons owing to its complexity.
"We don't think that we're going to be able to tell the story even within two seasons [2 and 3] because we're taking our time and go down interesting pathways," he said.
Upcoming adaptations

Along with The Last of Us, Sony has also revealed plans to adapt a few other PlayStation titles for the screen.
Ghost of Tsushima is being turned into an anime series, while both Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 are in line for film adaptations.
These announcements mark the latest in a growing trend of video game narratives being reimagined for different media platforms.
