HBO content director CaseyBloyshas been answering questions these days in the middle The Hollywood Reporter. In a fairly extensive interview, Bloys has spoken at length about the 2022 Emmy nominations, in which the firm he is in charge of has already surpassed Netflix. And, before saying goodbye, we have known more or less when can we watch the tv series The Last of Us.
The director of HBO is already thinking about The Last of Us
Last Tuesday, CaseyBloys was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter after knowing the nominations for the Emmy awards this year 2022. Things look really good for HBO, since five of the most nominated shows were from this platform, highlighting the series Succession with 25 nominations, The White Lotus with 20, Hacks with 17, euphoria with 16 and the hitman comedy —but good people— Barry with 14.
In total, the content chain received a total of 140 nominations in total, compared to Netflix, which has only obtained 105. This gave a lot to talk about during the interview, as the interviewer wanted to know how HBO could achieve better results than Netflix with a lower level of spending. According to Casey Bloys, HBO and HBO Max have a strategic plan so that the content compensates each other on multiple levels, such as budget or target audience. In addition, the director of HBO also commented that the fact that the Television Academy has reached that conclusion is thanks to the talent and effort that the entire team puts into making the projects go ahead.
When will The Last of Us arrive?
Taking advantage of the situation a little, the interviewer of The Hollywood Reporter asked Casey Bloys directly when the television series of The Last of Us to HBOMax. He did it after Bloys had already talked about each and every successful HBO project, so he had practically no escape and responded very matter-of-factly.
The answer was quick and simple: “It is close to the beginning of 2023”. Shortly after, Casey Bloys himself would say that this series is one of the projects that he is most excited about next year.
What do we already know about The Last of Us?
There is still a lot of mystery surrounding this series, but the announcement of the remake of Part 1 of the video game It can be a very clear clue as to how this television series is going to focus on us.
When this new version of the game was announced for next-gen consoles and PC, many of the fans of the Naughty Dog game quickly grasped that some story arcs were going to be modified so that they fit more logically with its sequel. The title will go on sale next September 2, so it will be a important clue ahead of the tv serieswhich, let us remember, has Neil Druckmann himself behind him working side by side with Craig Mazin.
As for the filming, it is to be assumed that the production period has already ended. First, because images of the sets were already leaked months ago and second, because otherwise, Bloys would not have been so specific with the premiere date of the series for early 2023.
