HBO has officially renewed The Last Of Us for a third season. This news comes as no surprise, given the show’s critical acclaim and positive reviews from fans. Creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have long stated their intention to create a multi-season arc, with season three expected to build on the foundation set by seasons one and two.
In a statement via HBO press release, Mazin expressed his gratitude for the show’s success: “We approached season two with the goal of creating something we could be proud of… We look forward to continuing the story of THE LAST OF US with season three!”
Druckmann echoed Mazin’s sentiments, thanking fans and collaborators for their support. The show is widely regarded as one of the best video game adaptations in recent years, with critics praising its ability to honor its source material while offering a unique narrative.
The upcoming third season will reportedly explore new storylines that build on those established in seasons one and two, including some “tacked-on” plot threads meant to set up future episodes. Despite these reservations, The Last Of Us remains an exceptional adaptation, cementing its status as the most effective video game-to-screen translation.
