Neil Druckmann announced his decision to step away from the HBO series The Last of Us ahead of season 3. He aims to concentrate on future projects at Naughty Dog, particularly a new game titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Druckmann expressed gratitude for the collaborative experience on the show alongside Craig Mazin. While the first season received acclaim, the second season faced criticism regarding character portrayals and narrative choices, leading to a noticeable decline in viewership.
I've made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO. With work completed on season 2 and before any meaningful work starts on season 3, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects, including writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Co-creating the show has been a career highlight. It's been an honor to work alongside Craig Mazin to executive produce, direct and write on the last two seasons. I'm deeply thankful for the thoughtful approach and dedication the talented cast and crew took to adapting The Last of Us Part I and the continued adaptation of The Last of Us Part II.
