It seems that the second season of the series The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, will feature a drastic change compared to the game it is based on.

The information was revealed in February by Neil Druckmann, creator of the game and producer of the series, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

“I’ll just say that we thought a lot about it and tried different things. There are some variations in how things are positioned,” he revealed at the time.

While it’s hard to explain exactly what he means without giving spoilers, those who played the game know that, unlike the first The Last of Us, multiple stories are told at the same time, but the game presents them separately.

However, it seems that the goal of the second season of the series will be to intertwine the two narratives, including all the flashbacks in chronological order, which makes more sense for a TV adaptation.

This idea is supported by the way the story from the first game was told in the first season of the series, which included DLC content in chronological order while the main story unfolded.
