“Let’s put this thing to rest,” showrunner and game creator Neil Druckmann says.
(Who knows how many seasons it will take to do the whole thing.)
Mazin and Druckmann are adamantly against the idea of recasting Ramsey in season 2.

“I’m like, ‘It doesn’t matter.
Just watch what happens.’
And now they know,” he said.
“I think there is still this constant drumbeat of anxiety.
Just know I am also very anxious.
Mazin also confirmed season 2 “will be different” fromPart II.
“Sometimes it will be different radically, and sometimes it will be [barely] different at all.
But it’s going to be different and it will be its own thing.
It won’t be exactly like the game.
It will be the show that Neil and I want to make.
But we are making it with Bella.”
Druckmann also spoke up on the matter.
“When we made the game, I felt we were incredibly lucky.
“And then somehow we got lightning in the bottle again with Bella.”
“And even then, we’re not sure we would grant her that.
We might still force her to come back to season 2.”
