The writer and showrunner of HBO's The Last of Us TV series has said he expects fans to revolt over what happens in Season 2. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Craig Mazin said of Season 2, "Will there be furor? Yeah, probably. I mean, there usually is, starting even with casting."

This is nothing new. Mazin said people had a lot of negative things to say about Bella Ramsey being cast as Ellie in The Last of Us, as an example. "We knew they were the exact right person to cast and they had to go through quite a few months of people being awful on social media until they saw what we saw," he said.

For Season 2 of The Last of Us, Mazin said there will be plot points that "shock people." And similar to Season 1, there will be storylines in the show that were not in the game.
