Nick Offerman Reveals They Have Ideas for 'The Last of Us' Prequel Series
Sharing the news just after he won an Emmy for his guest starring role in the HBO show.
A prequel series to HBO‘s series adaptation of The Last of Us is definitely possible, says guest star Nick Offerman.
The 53-year-old actor, who recently won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his role in the HBO series, revealed that conversations surrounding the prequel series have already taken place. “It certainly has been pitched. I think we pitched a whole mini-series of a prequel of their lives before they meet each other,” Offerman confirmed just after winning his Emmy, even joking, “It could be a musical.” He added, “We’re not short on ideas. We’ll just see what [co-creators] Craig [Mazin] and Neil [Druckmann] come up with.”
He also shared that he is more than open to reprise his role as Bill, “I was lucky this time. They needed a guy who could use a shovel. Three of us in Hollywood, Harrison Ford passed, and Jane Lynch was not available.”
Offerman’s Bill and Murray Bartlett’s Frank were the focus of the show’s third episode, which took a deep dive into their relationship and offered a loving, human touch in the chaos of the pandemic.
