Looking at the Season 2 Directors
Interesting seeing the director list! It adds to the speculation of the plot layout while adding to the hype. SUCCESSIONS’s Mark Mylod doing episode 2? The director of Bill’s episode coming back?? NEIL doing the penultimate episode??? spoilers below for the second game
I feel seeing Craig doing the premiere for some reason doubles down my thoughts on episode one being a straight shot to the emotional end of the beginning of the game. Drawing parallels to Joel’s rage in the premiere of season one to Ellie’s rage in season two. Or the opposite but sadness with Joel and Sarah to now Ellie and Joel.
I wouldn’t be surprised if episode 3 was Abby’s episode with that director from Bill doing his best to humanize and show so much depth in limited time. I couldn’t imagine it being a smart decision to not give more closure next episode if episode one ends like that.
The penultimate with Neil makes me want to think it has the end of Ellie’s Day 3 and Abby, the finale could be mainly flashbacks and setup to make the more Abby dominant season next season make more sense. Completely speculating of course.
Last point, interesting having a no name barely credited director on the finale. I’m not sure how they pick these if it’s an interview pitching different viewpoints but wow what a platform for an early career. Excited to see how to all unfolds!
