A spin-off of The Last of Us series could see the light of day, focusing on two characters that are very popular with the community. But for some fans this isn’t absolutely necessary.
“The Last of Us” is probably the best example we can cite when talking about a television adaptation of a video game. The first season was a success among both audiences and critics. Now we are waiting impatiently for the second season, which is not finished yet. We have now learned that a spin-off based on two very specific characters could be launched. Is this a good or bad idea? You decide.
A spin-off to The Last of Us series? And why not ?
Recently the Emmy Awards ceremony took place and the series “The Last of Us” received eight well-deserved awards. Nick Offerman just won an award for the role of Bill, which touched more than one person. After the awards ceremony, we asked him if we would see his character and Franck’s character again. Apparently it’s an idea that crossed the minds of the minds behind the show, but we won’t know more at the moment. Here’s what he had to say on the subject:
Oh, great question, but I should ask someone who has a higher salary than me. The idea was presented. I think we presented a whole prequel-style miniseries about their lives before they met.
In fact, this is not the first time this idea has been put forward. Shortly after episode 3 of The Last of Us aired, director Peter Hoar spoke about it. He explained that a spin-off to “Bill and Franck” could be an interesting idea. Our man even thought about incorporating Joel into the story to portray him in a new light. “ We would learn a lot about him during the apocalypse “. On paper, it’s pretty intriguing. However, some fans don’t seem to share that opinion.
An idea that doesn’t excite some fans
The people who are against the idea don’t hate the character, quite the opposite. What we actually hear most often is the fact that the story of Bill and Frank has already been told. One episode was enough to convey it to us, and it was touching and moving. That’s why we don’t necessarily need to see more. “ Could we please avoid this?
As for The Last of Us season 2, we have learned that production will begin on February 12, 2024. That’s good news, but it means we shouldn’t hope to see it before 2025. The plot tells us that we will deal with the events of the second part, several years after the conclusion of the first season. Suddenly the question arises about the actress who will play Abby. She was chosen, but her identity remains a closely guarded secret. Since production will start soon, we should get the answer shortly.
