The Last of Us HBO's third and fourth seasons won't have Neil Druckmann at the wheel, it's been revealed, nor will it have Halley Gross. Druckmann co-created the original The Last of Us game, and directed The Last of Us Part 2 (which Gross also co-wrote).

In a surprising development, HBO's The Last of Us adaptation has lost its co-creator and writer, as Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross will not be a part of the creative team for season

Neil Druckmann, co-creator of 'The Last of Us,' has departed the HBO series ahead of Season 3 to focus on Naughty Dog's 'Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.' Halley Gross also steps back, leaving Craig Mazin as sole showrunner.
