Earlier, the show’s co-director, Craig Marzin, said in a podcast already that he planned to split the second game’s storyline over two seasons. “The remaining material is a lot more complicated and extensive than the first game. It’s impossible to tell the story of part 2 in one season.” There are no plans to continue beyond where the games’ stories left off, the series’ other director, Neil Druckmann, told me. in an interview. So unless a third game is released, the series’ story will end at the same point as Part II.
