Just a year ago, the two co-creators had revealed that their plan to tell the whole story of the popular video game on which the series is based would require more than two seasons. “At least three … probably four”now confirms Orsi.

By offering focus on moving characters, for example, as in The famous episode 3 of season 1, or by being able to kill “Any character at any time”they warned.

“We have no full plan, nothing finalized for now, but I think we will develop all of this in four seasons, explains the producer. I would not want to confirm this in their place … What is certain is that we go out this second season, and then probably two more to finish. “
