HBO's critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us, is set to captivate audiences for four seasons, according to executive Francesca Orsi. While Orsi mentioned that "it's looking like" the show will run for four seasons, she emphasized that there's no "complete or final plan" yet. "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 told Deadline.
As fans eagerly await the return of the show in April 2025, Orsi teased what viewers can expect. "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 explained. She also highlighted the unique approach to the show's presentation, noting, "There’s a certain way [the show] is presenting them in wardrobe and makeup that feels really different than the average person."

If you haven't yet experienced the gripping first season, there's still time to catch up before Episode 1 of Season 2 premieres in April. Unlike Season 1, which adapted the entire first game, HBO plans to stretch The Last of Us Part 2 across multiple seasons, with Season 2 featuring a "natural breakpoint" after just seven episodes.
Season 2 will introduce several new characters, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. The role of Catherine O'Hara remains shrouded in mystery, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming season.
In IGN's review of The Last of Us: Season 1, the adaptation was praised as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," earning a remarkable 9/10 score.
