Co-showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann did the nearly impossible: successfully create a live-action adaptation of a video game. It wasn't long after season 2's cliffhanger finale that Druckmann announced he would be stepping back to focus on other pursuits. It was time to go back to the thing that started it all, which is just full-time video game work. He was excited to know that people who watched the show decided to play the video game it's based on. With Mazin remaining as showrunner for the series, which has been renewed for season 3, Druckmann can focus on the video game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
