The Last of Us Will Probably Run for 4 Seasons, HBO Exec Says

HBO’s critically acclaimed The Last of Us series is poised for a four-season run, according to an executive. Francesca Orsi, an HBO executive, hinted that the show’s future extends beyond the currently airing season, suggesting three additional seasons are planned. However, she emphasized that no official, finalized plan exists. Orsi stated to Deadline, "I wouldn't want to confirm that, but it's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done."

Regarding the highly anticipated Season 2, premiering in April 2025, Orsi teased intriguing details about the factions vying for survival. She highlighted the unique visual presentation of these groups, stating, "There's a certain way [the show] is presenting them in wardrobe and makeup that feels really different than the average person."

There's still time to catch up before Season 2's premiere in April! Unlike Season 1, which adapted the entirety of the first game, Season 2 will expand upon The Last of Us Part II, spanning multiple episodes. A "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes has been planned for this season.

Season 2 introduces several new cast members, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. Catherine O'Hara's role remains shrouded in mystery.

IGN's review of Season 1 lauded the show as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," awarding it a 9/10 rating.
