HBO's critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us, is set to captivate audiences for four seasons, according to executive Francesca Orsi. While Orsi emphasized that there's no "complete or final plan" yet, she hinted at a potential conclusion after the current season and two more, saying, "it's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done," in an interview with Deadline.
As fans eagerly await the return of the show in April 2025, Orsi teased intriguing developments. "There's certain elements in terms of the various factions that are competing for survival that reveal themselves as a really intriguing survivalist group, and I think they just have a quality to them that feels distinct in how they present it," she shared. The unique presentation of these factions through wardrobe and makeup will set them apart from typical characters.

Unlike Season 1, which covered the entire first game, HBO plans to spread The Last of Us Part 2 across multiple seasons. Season 2 will feature a "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes.
Season 2 will introduce several new characters, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. The role of Catherine O'Hara remains a mystery, adding an extra layer of anticipation for fans.
IGN's review of The Last of Us: Season 1 praised it as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," awarding it an impressive 9/10.
