EXCLUSIVE:
Mark Mylod, coming off his Outstanding Drama Directing Emmy win for HBO’s
Succession, is headed to another HBO drama series tipped to succeed
Succession as an Emmy juggernaut,
The Last Of Us.
Mylod is one of four new directors to board the post-apocalyptic zombie drama series, along with
Nina Lopez-Corrado (
Perry Mason),
Stephen Williams (
Watchmen) and
Kate Herron (
Loki). They join returning directors Peter Hoar, who was Emmy nominated for helming Season 1’s poignant Episode 3, “Long, Long Time,” as well as
The Last Of Us co-creators, executive producers and showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann who will once again take on directing duties too. It is unclear whether any of the seven helmers will direct multiple episodes; Season 1 consisted of nine episodes helmed by seven directors.
