Listen Up The Last Of Us Fans – There’s Good News And Bad News About Season 3
The Last Of UsWarning: This article contains major spoilers for season two of The Last Of Us.It’s been nearly two months since that rollercoaster of a season two finale, and yet The Last Of Us is still playing with our emotions. The post-apocalyptic drama starring Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal and Kaitlyn Dever ended on a huge cliffhanger when the seventh and final episode of the second season aired back in May, and now it turns out we might be looking at quite a long wait until season three.Kaitlyn DeverIn a recent interview with Variety, HBO content CEO Casey Bloys shed some light on the timeline for the next season.“The series is definitely planned for 2027,” he explained, suggesting the same wait time (and maybe even longer) that we had between the first two seasons.However, the good news is that there’s a possibility of co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin extending the Emmy-winning show beyond three seasons. “Craig is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season. It hasn’t been decided yet, and I’m following Craig’s lead on that.”Season two focused on Ellie’s quest for revenge after Joel’s brutal murder by Abby, with fans expecting season three to focus on Abby’s perspective of the same events, as depicted in the video game it’s based on.After we only saw Pedro’s character appear in season two mostly via flashbacks, the HBO exec addressed whether potentially now seeing less of Bella in the next instalment could be a challenge.“Not from a marketing perspective, because I think the title is obviously helped by the video game, and now the first two seasons is pretty well established,” he explained. “I kind of appreciate shows that take things and do a show from a different point of view.”Pedro PascalThe update comes following the news of a huge creative change behind the scenes, as co-creator Neil Druckmann announced he would be stepping back as co-showrunner.Executive producer and writer Halley Gross – who co-wrote The Last Of Us Part II video game and worked on several episodes of season two – also announced that she would be departing from her “day-to-day” duties on the show “to make space for what comes next”.The HBO content boss addressed Neil’s departure in the new interview, explaining that, while it was “fantastic to have Neil involved”, people often “don’t realise that Neil has a full time job creating video games and running Naughty Dog”.He added that the game creator had “given us a good blueprint with the show” and that “obviously Craig is a pro, so I think we’ll be in excellent shape. I’m not worried at all”.The Last Of Us is set in a post-apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by a fungus which turns humans into a zombie-like infected species. The latest series is among the frontrunners in the Emmy nominations with 16 nods this year.Related...Pedro Pascal’s Stylist Exits After Claiming She Received Death Threats Over One Of His OutfitsBella Ramsey Has Some Strong Feelings About You Calling Pedro Pascal 'Daddy'Bella Ramsey Says This ‘Intense’ Fear Kept Them From Leaving The House For Months
