Warning: This article contains spoilers for season two of The Last Of Us, as well as minor spoilers for the The Last of Us: Part II video game.

This Tuesday, The Last of Us showrunners Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, Mythic Quest) and Neil Druckmann (Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier) appeared at an Emmys For Your Consideration event to celebrate the show’s second season, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to paying tribute to what came before, though, the pair used the occasion as an opportunity to hint at what’s next for the post-apocalyptic HBO drama.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Accompanied by other members of the show’s crew, including cinematographers, costume and production designers, and composers, Mazin and Druckmann attended panels in which they teased audiences about the show’s upcoming third season, which will focus primarily on fleshing out Abby, a new antagonist introduced in season two portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart, Last Man Standing).

Among other things, Druckman remarked that season three would be “more of a water season than a fire season,” after Mazin joked about the show’s tendency to create intricate and expansive sets only to “light things on fire, smash them, tear them down,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“It’s a wetter season than a hotter season,” Mazin further added to Druckmann’s remarks to The Hollywood Reporter.

Druckmann, who also served as creative director for both The Last of Us video games, recalled the arduous process of arranging an adaptation of the story for the small screen to The Hollywood Reporter, concluding that he was thankful “to go on that journey to end up at HBO, end up at a place that leaned into those controversial decisions, I guess.” (Anyone who has watched season two of the show or played Part II of the video game likely knows which controversial decision Druckmann is thinking about here.)

Referring to the decision to center an entire season around someone that fans of the show will likely recognize as a villain in Abby, Druckmann expressed disbelief — and gratitude — that the HBO adaptation will retain a key theme of the game: understanding multiple sides of complex situations. “I was sure that they wouldn’t let us do this when we started adapting this, but they’ve leaned into what makes, I believe, the story special. And allowed us not only the time but the creative freedom to be able to take these swings, and I think the audience really appreciates that,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

Season three of The Last of Us will begin filming this summer, and is set to premiere at an unknown date.
