In an interview, he clarified that he is currently writing the script and the active preparatory phase will begin soon.
Recently, changes have occurred in the project - Neil Druckmann and Haley Gross, who were responsible for the script, left the team. Mazin admitted that this only added to his work.
"This is probably my favorite moment. It's very peaceful. I'm just sitting here with my wonderful ergonomic keyboard and typing on it. Pages are coming out, and I can become a monk for a while, which I really enjoy, and just write. This is the purest form of what I do. And then, in just a few months, this happy time will begin to become less peaceful, because we will begin a very long period of preparation while I am still writing, and then we will begin filming while I am still writing. In the first and second seasons, I finished about six weeks before the start of filming the last episode."
According to Mazin, he is not offended by Druckmann, who left the series to develop a new Naughty Dog game - Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
"Neil always had a permanent job – he ran Naughty Dog, so I was constantly in Canada, and in the end everything will go almost as usual."
Mazin noted that the new season will be longer than the second and closer in scale to the first. The third season will focus on the story through the prism of Abby, who has so far appeared only episodically.
