While the character of Frank was not really explored in the video games, the trailer reveals more. In an interview with Kakuchopurei, Naughty Dog President and co-creator of HBO’s The Last of Us series, Neil Druckmann revealed that Bill and Frank’s story will be a bit different. Frank is a character who was only mentioned in the video games, and was seen once as a corpse. However Druckmann has informed that Bill’s story has been changed to explore his relationship with Frank. As it is, gamers and fans of The Last of Us have long wondered and pondered about the nature of their relationship. 

Druckmann quoted Director Craig Maizin saying “what if we told this whole other story, this thing that was hinted at in the game, this Bill and Frank relationship. What if we fleshed that out and build a beautiful story of like the love these two felt for each other and like, we can jump around throughout the years in a way we couldn’t in the game because in the game, we’re always on Joel and Ellie’s perspective.”

So that’s something adaptive that we can expect to see in Episode 3 of HBO’s The Last of Us. As for where you can stream it, The Last of Us HBO series can be streamed on HBO Max or Disney+ Hotstar. In India, the episode will go live at 7:30 AM on Monday, 30th January.
