Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay shined when the 2023 seriesThe Last of Uswas released to the millions of fans of the game. Neil Druckmann, the creator of the original video game, had quite an interesting story to tell.
With comparisons and differences between the video game and the TV show that was produced, fans were quick to notice several changes. However, Druckmann revealed that he put one particular scene inThe Last of UsSeason 2 that he wasn’t even able to put it in the game!
Neil Druckmann Wasn’t Able To Put This Scene In The Game!
More than a video game,The Last of Usfeels like a cinematic journey through the hollowed and post-apocalyptic streets of the United States. Following the emotional journey of Ellie and Joel, the game made gamers cry their eyes out, and the series is no different.
With the first season beingone of the best video game-to-series adaptations, TV show fans fell in love withNeil Druckmann’sworld of infected, cures, and, exploration. Since the video game is a little bit in-the-moment, a lot of character backstories haven’t been shown to the audience.

Hinting various things over several cutscenes, the game doesn’t really dive into the hardcore backstories of these characters. That’s where the series has the upper hand and according toVariety, Neil Druckmann is not afraid to use it to his advantage.
And there’s stuff in this season that I’m really excited about — stuff that we hinted at — one scene in particular comes to mind that I think fans of the game will eat up.
He further continued,
Because it really kind of tells you a lot of backstory of this important character that there wasn’t really a way for us to even do that in the game.
So, we are going to get an in-depth dive into the psyche of one of the favorite (or hated) characters inThe Last of UsSeason 2. Working alongside veteran creatorCraig Mazin, Druckmann and theChernobylcreator hit it off instantly when they met.

Speaking ofChernobyl, that is howThe Last of Usactually turned into a reality for Neil Druckmann! Since the creator was obsessed with the HBO mini-seriesChernobyl(that Craig Mazin had created), Druckmann couldn’t help but invite him to lunch.
HowThe Last of UsCame To Be!
It was creator Craig Mazin who created and wrote the iconic HBO mini-seriesChernobyl.Based on the 1986 disaster, the show received rave reviews, critical acclaim, and worldwide fame for simply being pure awesome.
WhenThe Last of Uscreator Neil Druckmann saw the series, he fell in love. Wanting to meet Mazin and gush over how awesomeChernobylwas, Druckmann invited Craig Mazin for lunch.
As per his conversation with Variety, here’s howThe Last of Uscame to be a TV show from talking aboutChernobyl.
I just wanted to meet the guy and just gush about how much I love [‘Chernobyl’], and pick his brain about how he put it together, and how he wrote it and how long was he working on it.
Druckmann further continued,
And as I’m there in this lunch with this guy — and he wanted to meet me, as well — he started talking about ‘The Last of Us’ and talking about it in such an intimate, fundamental way of understanding what it was that I’m like, Oh my God, this guy’s in love with this game that we’ve made.
The rest, as we know, is history.The Last of Usgot a TV show adaptation with Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann serving as creators of the show. Suffice it to say, the show received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
