The upcoming TV adaptation of The Last Of Us which only recently got a series order from HBO and may wind up airing in 2022 right alongside the final season of The Walking Dead. There you have it, one Zombie themed show going up against another, yet still the chief content officer for The Walking Dead, Scott Gimple isn’t at all phased by the prospect.
Gimple stated to sources on the subject: “I think there’s room for all of us, with zombies and the different ways of telling zombie tales. I’m going to be watching both. I hope a lot of people will be watching.” he said.
Currently there’s no release date available for The Last of Us series, in which case the situation in question is up in the air, although, 2 years is a standard turnaround for several TV shows.
