I could be wrong, but it sounds boring and unnecessary. We’ve already seen the important part of their story.

As much as I love that episode and Nick Offerman, how can you do a prequel when the only interesting things happened after the outbreak? Is it just gonna be two men living their lives independent of each other?
I assumed it meant after they met each other and it was just a romance with a lot of hot sex.
Don't know what you're talking about. I would love a show like The Martian where it's just Nick Offerman fixing problems and building shit in the apocalypse.
We saw that already in a well executed montage, no need to stretch that out into a full series.
“We made something people enjoyed”
“How can we run that into the ground to make a bit more money?”
That's what i keep thinking when i hear stuff like that. People liked when baby yoda was on screen twice, make everything about baby yoda now. Beople liked bran in game of thrones, forget everything you know about game of thrones, he's now a main character. I hate that tv shos and movies are now a twitter poll
I'm somewhat with you, but Bran was the POV character for Chapter 1 of Book 1. He was very much a main character from the literal beginning. If anything, the show messed up by failing to make him an interesting main character.
Everyone here seems to have the exact same thoughts... this is not needed. The episode was probably the best of the season, but I have no desire to watch an entire show featuring more about them. Seems unnecessary.
Agreed. Especially since that whole episode already was very much a prequel to the characters. This seems like an attempt to milk the franchise. I really don't want TLoU to become the next TWD.
Would I watch it? Yes. Do I think it's needed? Probably not. That episode was absolutely perfect so part of me just wants to leave it the way it is.
Artist: makes a beautiful, poignant work
Capitalism: "I can milk you"
Haha, I agree but it seems to be Nick Offerman making the pitch here
It's because Megan wants to see him kissing more dudes, I guarantee it
Oh wow, look at that she shaved off part of your mustache. That's lovely.
That might be one of the funniest lines in that show.
"Pitched" just means "some guy had this idea they cornered an exec in an elevator and rambled about for two minutes".
Is it gonna be about their normal lives before the zombie apocalypse? Cuz the episode they were in already felt like a prequel of events leading up to how they died. Blowing up that montage into a full on series seems kinda lame.
So glad I cancelled HBO once WarnerDiscoveryParamountSoon killed it and ended it's decades long mission of bold, imaginative programming.
Max can keep their proven IP derivative cash grabs like this and Dragon House, and the avalanche of "Reality" show garbage that David Zaslav crowed about being so cheap to produce, like that was a feature. The shareholders don't even care what the industry they own is suppposed to produce, only the best economic tricks they can pull to bump the stock price by cannibalizing it, tear it all down for the late stage capitalism fire sale.
As soon as they rebranded from HBO to Max and made me reinstall an identical looking (ignoring the increase in extra suggestions I had to wade through to get to what I was watching), but completely broken, app I cancelled.
The fact that every single show they added was negative value to me (yes, not existing with my subscription is better than existing) was an afterthought.
Imagine having a wealth of content and side stories in the form of the notes you find around in-game and TLOU the series is what we got. Joel, Ellie, Frank, and Bill were perfect, but fuck everything else about it.
Druckman must be stopped. Where the fuck was my boi Ish.
There was an opportunity to show Ish’s story but no.
Now this would make a good stand alone mini season
