THE LAST OF US Will Likely Have 4 Seasons, Series ‘Will Be Different’ From Games

by

The hit series “HBO’s The Last of Us” is gearing up for its second season, which will delve into the narrative of “The Last of Us: Part II.” However, instead of just two parts, as suggested by the game, the show’s creators have hinted that the story could span over a much longer duration. In an interview with GQ, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann confirmed that the extensive tale of “The Last of Us: Part II” would be divided across multiple seasons. HBO EVP and Head of Drama, Francesca Orsi, further added that “The Last of Us” might stretch out to a total of four seasons.

As a movie reviewer, I’d put it this way: During a recent interview, Druckmann, the mastermind behind the series, hinted that the upcoming season won’t cover just one part of the second game. However, he left us guessing about the exact extent, stating that “more than one” is an accurate description. Mazin, another key creator, echoed this, confirming that while they won’t reveal the number of seasons, “more than one” is a fact. In other words, buckle up, fans, because there’s more to the story than we initially thought!

As an ardent fan, I must admit that Orsi didn’t exactly spill the beans, but she did hint at a possible number of seasons for “The Last of Us.” Although she emphasized that it’s not a definitive statement, her words suggest four seasons might be on the table. She stopped short of confirming this, but if I were to speculate, it appears that we might get one season followed by two more after this, wrapping up the storyline.

1 Season of The Last of Us sets up a rich series, with approximately four seasons potentially unfolding. Unlike the initial game’s narrative, Part II delves deeper into complex characters and intricate storylines. Dividing it in this manner seems appropriate. In the second season of The Last of Us, we can anticipate the reappearance of Tommy and Maria alongside Joel and Ellie, as well as introducing new characters. Orsi previously hinted that Season 2 of The Last of Us would bring a significant shift, both in terms of entertainment value due to the clickers, and the deeper, more complex character dynamics between Joel, Ellie, and others.

In the upcoming seasons, a direct replica of the game isn’t something we should anticipate. The series is an adaptation, meaning it will continue to evolve with new developments. As noted by Mazin in Slash Film, “We’ll introduce elements, but it won’t be the same. It won’t be identical; instead, it will be unique. Just like this season, sometimes it will change drastically, and other times subtly, but it will always be distinct and stand on its own.

Transition can sometimes be unsettling, but after witnessing what season one of The Last of Us offered, we’re quite optimistic about season two and beyond. Even though the series might not mirror every aspect from the game, it’s certain to preserve its essence.
