It has not yet been revealed if the next eight chapters will have the same minutes as the first. It is known that the premiere season will cover the story of the first volume of the game and will also borrow parts of the story from the sequel. Craig Mazin, the Emmy Award-winning creator of Chernobyl, he developed the series together with Neil Druckmann, the director behind the successful saga.

In an interview with sfx magazineDruckmann (co-creator of the series and co-president of Naughty Dog) revealed that this adaptation will not be as violent as the original material: “[En los juegos] we needed a certain amount of action, or violence, that we could use for the mechanics, so that you could connect with Joel and get into a state of flow. So you would really feel like you are connected to this on-screen avatar and that you are seeing the world through his eyes.”

For his part, Mazin spoke with empire and said The Last of Us is the greatest video game story ever told. “It’s an open and shut case: this is the best story ever told in video games,” he noted. “Joel and Ellie didn’t assert themselves. They were just people and that, in and of itself, is remarkably rare in this industry. The fact that they kept it so grounded, it really made us feel like something we’d never experienced.”

Some little details about Bill and Frank’s story for the series have also been shared. Neil Druckmann said that practically an entire episode will be dedicated to delving into the dynamics between these two characters, something that could shock some fans. However, the creative mentions that the first viewings of this chapter made some viewers cry.
