Hey there! Time's a-ticking while we wait for The Last of Us Season 3, ain't it? After the gut-wrenching cliffhanger of Season 2, we're chomping at the bit to find out what's next! So, let's dive into what the TV show's brains, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, had to say about the season's ending, the tale to come, and the burning questions we should ponder whilst twiddling our thumbs.

First, let's get the juicy details on where the heck Season 2 ends off. The story finishes right smack in the thick of it, with Ellie and Abby's confrontation hanging in the balance. But fear not, it's a promise that the plot's only about to heat up even more in the next season. Season 3 ain't gonna skimp on the epic action and tension!

Now, what's so special about this season's cliffhanger you ask? Well, in the game, the shift from playing Ellie to Abby was jarring, and the show had to find a way to recreate that emotion. Mazin admits that the TV show couldn't quite match the game's shock factor, but they did their best to maintain the feeling of twisted fates intertwining.

Numbers start crawling, discussing different endings or narrative changes, but thankfully, the team wasn't swayed too much by the urge to experiment. Druckmann simply put it, "Isn't this part of the genetics of how this story functions?" The story will change, but the core essence will remain intact, pushing the boundaries and testing HBO's patience.

As for our beloved Ellie, she won't be disappearing completely. Mazin teased that we haven't seen the last of her, along with Bella Ramsey and a few other characters whose current status in the show's storyline is, as they say, "deceased."

But it ain't just about Ellie and Abby. Isaac, the WLF, the Seraphites, and their darn war are all up for grabs too, and Mazin wants fans to stay curious about their histories and motivations. Buckle up, folks, because the answers are coming, and it won't be long before we're knee-deep in the story once more.

So, there you have it! We may be waiting for Season 3, but the questions are many, and the answers are coming.
