The Last of Us showrunner Neil Druckmann also spoke with GQ Magazine about the process of developing Season 2, admitting that it is much "easier" now due to the familiarity between the cast and crew: People were like, ’She doesn’t look like. Which by the way is the age of Ellie in The Last of Us, part 2. She’s smoking six packs of cigarettes a day and is on a pure whiskey and tainted beef diet. In an interview with Deadline, Mazin talked about recasting concerns regarding Bella Ramsey for Season 2, pointing out that the actress' age is the same as Ellie in Part II: "Of course, in the second game, there’s a primary shift in time, but there are also moments that you see, that are in between the events of the main storyline of The Last of Us Part II and the storyline of The Last of Us Part I." Mazin also noted that The Last of Us Part II also had moments in between the events of the main storyline of the two games, hinting that those flashbacks will be included in Season 2: In House of the Dragon, Episode 6 took a massive time jump of 10 years that led to the recasting of the roles of Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock to Emma D'Arcy) and Alicent (Emily Carey to Olivia Cooke). Those were very significant leaps in age, and we don’t have that. "But no, we are not doing 'House of the Dragon' leaps. The showrunner then confirmed that The Last of Us will not be doing "House of the Dragon leaps," pointing out that "no recasting will occur:" In the game, as you point out, she goes from 14 to 19, I believe." It reflects the changing nature of Ellie’s relationship with Joel, as she gets older. Obviously, the time jump is important, to some extent. Mazin reflected on the importance of the time jump, noting that it highlights the "changing nature" of Joel and Ellie's bond: In the game series, The Last of Us Part II takes place five years after the events of The Last of Us Part I.
