“This story is greater [se referindo a segunda temporada]there are more lenses to look, there is a new world, which is noisier, dangerous… and we dived deep to it. I believe that next season again, if we are not canceled, will be even greater, ”he said Druckmann.
Although they have caveats about a sequel, as there are variables that can cause the project to be shelved, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on February 3 this year, the pair also exposed that the second season will not be the last and that there is the possibility of the narrative being told beyond a third season.
“I think it’s very likely that our story extend beyond a third season. How far I can’t say. And that doesn’t mean there are no other stories that could be told, but this story is the one that we are telling,” said Mazin.
The exact number of seasons that the title should have on the small screens was not revealed during the chat, but Druckmann He hinted that the conclusion of the story is already defined in stating that they already have a plan for the end of the project by saying, “We know what we need to do from now on, but we could not say exactly how many episodes or how many seasons would be necessary to get there.”
Days after the pair, the HBO executive Francesca Orsi He revealed to Deadline at Afterparty of ‘The White Lotus’ on February 12, eventually revealed what is the possible planning for the end of ‘The Last of Us’, declaring that the series should have two more seasons beyond the two already released, explaining that the project should be closed in season fourth.
“I think it looks like there will be four seasons. I wouldn’t want to confirm it, but it seems that this season and two more seasons after this and we are ready,” said Orsi.
Remember that HBO has not officially renewed ‘The Last of Us’ for any season beyond the second. Thus, until a definitive answer comes up, fans will have to be content with the first season already available in the Max catalog and the second, which is scheduled to premiere for April 13, 2025.
