The highly anticipated episode six of The Last of Us has been praised by fans and critics alike, despite a minor controversy over some changed lines in a porch scene. However, co-writer Craig Mazin has revealed new information that alters the previously stated plans for the show’s future.
Originally, it was announced that The Last of Us Part II would be split into two seasons, with Season 3 covering the remaining story. But now, Mazin believes that Season 3 might need to be longer than expected, potentially even surpassing Season 2 in length. However, he emphasizes that completing the narrative in a third season is not feasible.
Fans are now questioning how this new development will impact the show’s future, especially with four seasons now being considered. If Season 3 were to follow the same pattern as Season 2, with eight episodes, fans wonder what Season 4 would entail.
In another twist, co-creator Neil Druckmann revealed that Naughty Dog is working on a second secret game alongside Intergalactic, but it’s unclear if this new project is The Last of Us Part III or something entirely different.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding future seasons, fans remain excited to see more of The Last of Us.
