April 9, 2025

HBO announced today that The Last of Us has been renewed for a third season. The news comes ahead of the Emmy-winning drama's sophomore debut this Sunday.

"It can't be overemphasized how proud HBO is for the outstanding achievement we believe the second season of THE LAST OF US is," said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. "Craig, Neil, Carolyn and the entire executive producer team, cast and crew have delivered a masterful follow-up and we're thrilled to carry the power of Craig and Neil's storytelling into what we know will be an equally moving and extraordinary third season."

"To see The Last of Us brought to life so beautifully and faithfully has been a career highlight for me, and I am grateful for the fans' enthusiastic and overwhelming support," said creator, executive producer, writer, and director Neil Druckmann. "Much of that success is thanks to my partner in crime, Craig Mazin, our partnership with HBO, and our team at PlayStation Productions. On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog, our cast, and crew, thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity. We're thrilled to bring you more of THE LAST OF US!"

Set two decades after modern civilization has collapsed, The Last of Us follows a hardened survivor named Joel, who is hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What was intended as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as the two traverse the United States and depend on each other for survival.

The upcoming second season is set five years after the events Season 1, with Joel and Ellie being drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.

A comment on other comments. This is not really news, they've said all along that the second game would be spilt into two seasons. I think this announcement just means that season 2 passed the critics smell test so they are going to proceed with season 3.

I'm looking forward to Season 2 and knowing I don't have to worry about getting to the end and having it canceled without a proper ending is surely a good thing.
