‘The Last Of Us’: Showrunners Promise A Bigger Season 3, A Shorter Season 2 & Potentially A Season 4

What’s going on with season two of HBO’s highly acclaimed, much-anticipated “The Last Of Us,” pandemic-zombie series that made an even bigger star out of Pedro Pascal? The series aired in January of 2023 and might have been ready for a return in 2024, but last year’s writers’ and actors’ strikes scuttled that plan. Currently, “The Last Of Us” is expected to return sometime in 2025, and in a new Deadline interview, showrunners and directors Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have shared some new details.
