‘The Last Of Us’ Co-Creator Craig Mazin Extends Overall Deal With HBO & Max


Craig Mazin, co-creator, writer, director and executive producer of HBO's breakout new drama series The Last Of Us, has re-upped his exclusive television deal with the network and sibling streamer Max for an additional four years.

Delayed by the strike, Season 2 of the post-apocalyptic drama starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey started in Vancouver last week for a 2025 premiere. The two share writing, showrunning and episodic directing duties on the drama, which transcended genre to bring in large audiences beyond the game’s devoted followers. The Last of Us was Mazin’s followup to his HBO limited series Chernobyl, for which he won a Golden Globe, BAFTA, WGA, PGA and Peabody Award.
