“The sequence is certainly deliberate for 2027. Craig remains to be working it out whether or not it is going to be two extra seasons or yet another lengthy season. It hasn’t been determined but, and I’m following Craig’s lead on that.”

“Clearly it was nice to have Neil concerned to start with. The entire cause that I needed to do ‘Final of Us’ is after ‘Chernobyl,’ I mentioned to Craig, ‘what do you wish to do subsequent?’ And ‘Final of Us’ was what he needed to do. That’s what was most necessary to me, Craig’s artistic pleasure concerning the present. It was unbelievable to have Neil concerned. Lots of people don’t understand that Neil has a full time job creating video video games and working Naughty Canine. It’s a extremely large job that he’s acquired. So I perceive why he must deal with that. However I consider he’s given us a very good blueprint with the present. And clearly Craig is a professional, so I feel we’ll be in wonderful form. I’m not nervous in any respect.”
