HBO’s The Last of Us is about to wrap up its second season, and a third is on the way. Showrunner Craig Mazin has now said it would be impossible to tell the story he and his team have in mind in anything fewer than four seasons, adding that he expects Season 3 will be longer than Season 2.
Mazin told Collider, „There’s no way to complete this narrative in a third season. Hopefully, we’ll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth.“ Before this, HBO management said The Last of Us would likely end after its fourth season.
The showrunner and writer also assured viewers that the team is always thinking ahead to help map out the future of the show, and so far, Mazin has things mapped out through Season 4.
