HBO’s The Last of Us is looking at a shake-up for its third (and potentially final) season – not only on screen, where the focus expected to shift from Bella Ramsey’s Ellie to Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby, but also behind-the-scenes with Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann announcing that he is stepping down as co-showrunner on the series.

In addition, Halley Gross has also announced she will no longer be working on the HBO series. Gross previously co-wrote “The Last of Us Part II” with Druckmann and worked as an executive producer and writer on the HBO series.

I really wanted to love season two of HBO’s The Last of Us. For the most part, I did — but it was also impossible to ignore the online masses saying that showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann had lost the thread in season two.
