When the third episode of the first season of ‘The Last Of Us’ premiered on HBO in January 2023 and aired in this country on Sky and WOW, it kept the world in suspense. Because the love story between Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank(Murray Bartlett), which is told in fast forward in the episode, did not leave even the most die-hard series fans among us indifferent and made it clear once again in what kind of cruel world “The Last Of Us” takes place.
After Bill actor Nick Offerman (‘Parks And Recreation’) won Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series at the Emmy Awards a few days ago for his performance in ‘The Last Of Us’, He gave fans hope that we could see more of the two fan favorites soon. So he explained loudly that there were already discussions about a spin-off.
The history of Bill and Frank as a musical?
Proposals have already been submitted for a miniseries, as Offerman revealed: “We’ve already pitched it. We talked about what it would be like a prequel miniseries about [Bill und Franks] to make life before the two get to know each other. It could be a musical.He added that he hasn’t run out of ideas yet, but the decision will ultimately be made by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. If Bill’s story continues, Offerman would like to be there again. However, his genre request for a musical could very well have been a joke – after all, the star is known for his dry humor.
Whether there will actually be a spin-off series remains to be seen. What is certain is that we can look forward to a second season of the main series ‘The Last Of Us’. The new episodes are expected to go into production in the spring of this year, with season 2 expected to debut on Sky and WOW in 2025.
