The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has said this show will be his “video game swansong”, but that hasn’t stopped him joking about 19 seasons of something GTA 5-flavoured.
Mazin has so far been at the helm of two seasons of The Last of Us, alongside Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann. A third season is already confirmed to be in the pipeline, although at least one more season after that is still expected to wrap up the games’ narratives.
But, once all that is done and dusted, Mazin won’t be looking to head up another video game to TV adaptation, he has said.

Speaking with SciFiNow, the showrunner was asked which other video game series he would like to adapt, to which he replied: “Well, I’m not ever going to, of course, because where can you go from here?”
That said, he joked that as he is a “masochist”, he was tempted to reply with Grand Theft Auto 5, because “I just think that would be like 19 seasons of TV”, or even something like Candy Crush, which is quite the thought.
