The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has confirmed that no Bill and Frank spin-off is on the way. Rumors of a prequel series featuring the beloved characters began circling when Nick Offerman made some interesting comme♏nts at the Creative Emmys.

After winning for his performance as the gruff Bill in the video game adaptation, he suggested a spin-off had been pitched. "I think we pitched a whole mini-series of a prequel of their lives before they met each other," he said backstage to Deadline. "It could be a musical. We’re not short on ideas. We’ဣll just we’ll see what Craig and Neil come up with."

: "I’m very proud of the episode we did with Bill and Frank. There won’t be more Bill and Frank." Speaking about Offerman’s comments, he added: "Nick was joking about a prequel, that was kind of a joke. We are very happy with what we achieved."

The Bill and Frank story, which aired as the third episode of season one, was one of the standout moments of the opening season. Building upon a small story in games, the heartbreaking episode fleshed out the two characters, their love story, and their ultimate death in the post-apocalyptic world. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Our review called it a "gut-punch o♓f a chapter" that "fleshes out one of the game's most ove𝕴rlooked characters".
