Season 3 of The Last of Us will not be the last
For the showrunner, there is still too much to tell to finish the series in a season.
It’s a little music that sounds like an air of “take on me” sung by Ellie …
The Last of Us is still far from over. The adapted video game series will not end with season 3. It should continue at least one more season, as the showrunner heard Craig Mazin this week.
While season 2 will end this Sunday with its seventh and last episode (to see Monday on Max in France), Craig Mazin revealed to Collider That season 3 already ordered will not be enough to tell everything that remains to be said. Even if there is “chances“For this third season to be longer than the second.
Attention spoilers!
Mazin explains the death of Joel marked the red iron all season 2 and that this chapter was naturally dedicated to 100% to the consequences of the drama. Thus, the authors could not explore other things:
“The thing with Joel’s death, It is that it is an earthquake. A narrative nuclear bomb which prevents from moving away from it. We cannot afford a break or a detour like the episode of Bill and Frank “tells Mazin, in reference to the episode carried by Nick Offerman And Murray Bartlett in season 1.
But the rest could offer more freedom. “I’m not sure it will be the same for season 3,” he adds. “I think we will have a little more space to breathe. But one thing is certain: we will not be able to finish this story in three seasons. If everything goes well, we hope to deserve our place to return to conclude with a fourth. This is the most likely outcome.”
As a reminder, HBO has renewed The Last OS Us For a season 3 from April, well before the broadcast of season 2.. No official green light for a season 4, for the moment.
