‘The Walking Dead’ chief on the possibility that HBO’s rival zombie show ‘The Last of Us’ will air during thei – Business Insider India

HBO is currently working on an adaptation of popular zombie apocalypse video game series "The Last of Us."

When it premieres, there's a very good chance it will run alongside the final 11th season of "The Walking Dead," which will wrap up in 2022. "TWD" chief content officer Scott Gimple told Insider it's something those working on the universe haven't considered.

"TWD," which has aired on AMC since October 2010, started out following Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as he woke up from a coma to discover a world overrun by the undead. Over the years, the show has turned into a series focused on community, survival, and hope. Eventually, it should shift towards an ongoing search for Rick, who disappeared from the series in 2018.

In "TLOU," the outbreak is caused by a fungus which infects its hosts and kills them before taking over their bodies. The dead are more or less walking fungi in various mutations.

HBO's video game adaptation has been in development since March. Craig Mazin ("Chernobyl") and "TLOU" game writer and creative director, Neil Druckmann, are working on the series.

"I think there's room for all of us, with zombies and the different ways of telling zombie tales," Gimple said of both shows. "I'm going to be watching both. I hope a lot of people will be watching."
