HBO’s hit series “The Last of Us” has already been renewed for a second season, with the first season essentially adapting the entirety of the original video game. Does that mean the events of The Last of Us Part II will be completely covered in “The Last of Us” Season 2? And if so, does that mean the show’s upcoming second season will be its final season?
Co-creator/showrunner Craig Mazin has suggested in recent months that the HBO series won’t be dragging out the games too much, but it also sounds like it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. During a panel over the weekend (via Deadline), Mazin told the crowd that there’s still “quite a bit of story to tell” in the HBO series. What does that mean, exactly?
Mazin teased, “Our plan is to do it not just for one more season. We should be around for a while.”
Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II features more complex storytelling than the first game, so it makes sense that the HBO adaptation may end up spanning more than a single season. The sequel game is essentially split into two parts, one half centered on Ellie and the other on new character Abby, and we could easily see both storylines getting their own seasons.
Meanwhile, “The Last of Us” Season 2 is still at the writing stage at this point in time, so don’t expect the series to return to HBO until sometime in 2024 – at the earliest.
Stay tuned for more on all things “The Last of Us.”
