Neil Druckmann is not worried about Tlou spoilers after they were “blown up in my face”.

When the last of us made part II in 2020, this was spoiled online in advance after some important points of action. Now that the show can adapt this story when the last of US relay in season 2 has a premiere in a few weeks, there is a risk that a whole new audience will be changed online by spreading spoilers. But for the showrunner Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, of whom the latter now live in this situation for a second time, spoilers are not a big problem.

“I have the feeling that I can best respect the audience if I don’t give too much about them when I work on what I write. In this way I could make the best decision with as little outdoor influence and make the best internal decisions for the characters for the medium,” said Druckmann to Gamespot. “And when it comes to what we spoil or not? Add it again as if we are doing it for the first time, provided the audience knows nothing.

Even if spoilers float around for those who cannot resist, the second season, like the first season, changes some details to ensure that the team “makes the best decisions for this moment”, since a television audience has different needs than a video player.

“But here, too, my approach is on the show, I assume that they don’t know anything,” he continued. “I assume you didn’t play the game. I think there is an assumption that you saw in the first season, but even that is not 100% sure, so HBO created this beautiful summary of season 1.”

I asked the couple whether the production team created a content meant as a spoiler information, e.g.

“The thing is really difficult to make the show. We use every day to make what we want to do every day,” he said. “The idea of ​​spending time with shooting that we don’t want to do is a kind of terrible view for me. And I think Neil’s right. The thing about Spoiler is that it is somehow overvalued. The influence that it has is overrated. And you can only see it empirically. Spoiler. Relationships. “

The last of US relay 2 premiere on HBO and Max begins on April 13th and will run for seven episodes according to a weekly publication plan. The season will not cover all history of us part II, and a third season is planned, although not yet officially announced.
