May 17,2025 Author: Camila

Major news, even if we all saw it coming: HBO's The Last of Us has officially been renewed for Season 3, less than a week before the premiere of Season 2 on Max.

"It can’t be for nothing," Max revealed via its social media channels on April 9. "Season 3 is coming." A deep red flare is featured burning bright in the bottom corner of a video accompanying the ominous caption.

The Last of Us premiered in January 2023 to widespread acclaim, often cited as the best video game adaptation to date. Season 1 garnered an impressive eight Emmy awards from its 24 nominations. The eagerly awaited Season 2 will see the return of leads Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal as Ellie and Joel, with newcomer Kaitlyn Dever joining as Abby, a soldier driven by revenge after losing someone close to her. The cast for Season 2 will also include Beef star Young Mazino, Alien: Romulus star Isabelle Merced, Captain America: Brave New World star Danny Ramirez, and legends Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Wright.

PlayRecently, series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann shared their thoughts with IGN on the ongoing debate about Joel's decision, a central theme of the franchise since the game's 2013 release.

"I believe Joel was right," the Naughty Dog studio head told us. "If I were in Joel's position, I hope I would be able to do what he did to save my daughter." However, Mazin had a different perspective. "That's so interesting, because I think that if I were in Joel's position, I probably would have done what he did," the Chernobyl showrunner noted. "But I'd like to think that I wouldn't. That's the interesting push and pull of the morality of it. And that's why the ending of the first game is so provocative and so wonderful. It just doesn't let you off the hook as a player."

The Last of Us Season 2 premieres on Max on April 13, 2025, while the release date for Season 3 remains undisclosed. For more insights, check out IGN's spoiler-free review of The Last of Us Season 2.
