The world has been awaiting the release of The Last of Us Season 2 for almost two years now, and the fans are getting restless. The show, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey and created by Craig Mazin, is adapted from a video game of the same name. Released in January 2023, the show became one of the most celebrated of the year, finding an audience worldwide, even among those unaware of the game. It was soon labeled the best show of the year and received rave reviews. Now, as we approach the frenzy of Season 2, set for a 2025 release, reports suggest the makers have already started preparing for a third season.
You read that right. It’s clear The Last of Us will continue beyond the second season, with much more to explore. While we’ve been teased with a dark twist for Ellie and how it will complicate things for Joel, reports say the show has already entered pre-production for Season 3, and the actors are set to begin filming in Summer 2025. This exciting update means they’ll be on set in roughly six months. No further details about Season 3 are available yet.
The wait for The Last of Us Season 2 is getting tougher, and 2025 feels too far. Craig Mazin, in an interview with Deadline, teased that while Season 2 is based on the second game, it will also feature some unseen stories. Yes, you read that right. “As a fan, I’m thrilled there might be a third Last of Us game,” Mazin said. This excites us even more about what’s cooking at HBO.
“As the co-creator, there’s no world where we want our show to go beyond the source material people know. Our show, as people know it on HBO, will cover the second game’s material and include much relevant content. Still, it will wander into interesting new paths, telling stories within the context of the game’s material,” he added.
