I've never played the games but I enjoyed season 2 and season 3 looked to have a clear direction. We know where it starts and we know roughly where it ends and I'm guessing the finale will match wherever the game's story ends.

The only controversy I could see is what direction the show is going to take after the third season. AFAIK there is no more material to pull from so we either have to end it or write something completely new.

Going in a new direction without the original writing team can be tricky, but also it sounds like he's leaving on good terms so he could always come back.

Pretty sure they won't continue it past the games story. IIRC Craig Mazin said they needed season 3 and 4 to tell the whole rest of the games story fully.

I’m really curious how they are going to get to a season 4. If they do one ep per day for Abby, the rest of the season could tell the rest of the game. Given how many people love to complain about it any chance they get, I’d be surprised if it got to season 4.

Realistically I think the audience won't stay. S2 got far lower viewings, the story is wildly different to s1 and it's following new people. Don't see it working

I'd be all for them making a longer season 3 and finishing it all there, personally. Must be some budget or $$ reasons they're wanting to stretch it out so far.

I have to assume HBO wanted to milk one of the few hit shows it has atm.
