HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that the second season of The Last of Us will not arrive before 2025, and he did not dare to specify a specific date within the said year, which means that its premiere could happen both at the beginning and at the end of the given year. It came as a real splash of cold water to fans of the franchise They expected the launch in 2024.

According to series co-creator Neil Druckmann, They already have an entire second season mapped out, so it’s clear that they have all the production and filming work ahead of them right now. It is important to remember that this season was affected by the writers’ strike that remained active in the United States from May to September.

Since the end of the first season, we know that the second season of The Last of Us series will tell about the events of the second part of the well-known video game, though we don’t know exactly how he’ll do it. There are several options, HBO could choose to compress the entire game into one season, or they could give it wider and deeper coverage and even add more content and split it into two or more seasons.

According to The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin, the series could have a total length of between three and five seasons, but I think four is a good number. Considering the amount of time each new shoot takes, it’s also possible that we’ll eventually find a new The Last of Us game, and that it will eventually carry over into the series.

Generally speaking The first season of the series was at a good level, both for fidelity to the game and the narrative and setting. It has a lot of merit and we have to acknowledge it, especially considering the disasters we’ve seen in other series based on video games, such as the Resident Evil series produced by Netflix, which is probably the worst adaptation of the well. – a well-known Capcom title, so much so that Paul WS Anderson’s films have clearly taken it to the next level.

With that in mind, it’s easy to see why The Last of Us Season 2 is one of the most anticipated and expectations are quite high. With Neil Druckmann at the helm of the project, we have reason to be optimistic, as he is, after all, one of the fathers of the franchise.
