Speculation has run rampant about how the HBO series will chop up the game.
Will it linearize the Jackson flashbacks?
Will it show Ellie and Abbys perspectives of the three days in Seattle concurrently?
Just how faithfully will the show adapt the game?
This is the home stretch of Ellies search for Abby.
Ellie ends up abandoning Jesse to pursue Abby to the aquarium, but Abby isnt there.

The Last of Usseason 2 will air sometime in 2025.
This would mean that Abbys three-day storyline is being saved for season 3.
However, that mightve taken some of the impact out of the storytelling.
Throughout Ellies three days in Seattle,Abby remains more of an idea than a human being.
And then, cut to black.
The game then dives right into Abbys story.
But the TV show can make that cut-to-black a jaw-dropping cliffhanger in the season 2 finale.
This bombshell twist could make for a really great season finale that leaves the audience guessing.
Some TV audiences might do the same.
But TV shows need to keep viewers coming back every week to get to stay profitable.
