HBO confirms second season of "The Last of Us" - and Amazon plans "Tomb Raider"
News from the game adaptation front: HBO has ordered a second season for "The Last of Us". And: Amazon wants to follow suit with a "Tomb Raider" series in the same category and has already signed an author.
"I'm impressed, honoured and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie's journey," says Neil Druckmann, executive producer, author and co-director of the series and game director of the game. The cast, crew and executives at HBO have exceeded his already high expectations. The second season is set to build on the success of the first.
