Neil Druckmann is stepping away from creative responsibilities for HBO's The Last of Us series to concentrate on future projects at Naughty Dog, including the next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. He announced his decision via a statement on X, emphasizing its difficulty and the right timing following the completion of Season 2. Druckmann expressed gratitude for the opportunity to co-create the series while working with Craig Mazin, and thanked the cast and crew for their dedication in adapting the game series.
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, along with my responsibilities as Studio Head and Head of Creative.
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.
