HBO Exec Predicts 4 Seasons for The Last of Us

HBO's critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us, is set to captivate audiences for a projected four seasons, according to executive Francesca Orsi. While she noted there's no "complete or final plan" yet, Orsi hinted to Deadline that the series might conclude after the current season and two additional ones. "I wouldn't want to confirm that, but it's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done," she explained.

Anticipation is building for the show's return in April 2025, with Orsi teasing 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 said. She also mentioned the unique way the show uses wardrobe and makeup to differentiate these groups from the average person.
