HBO Exec: The Last of Us Likely to Run for 4 Seasons

HBO's critically acclaimed series, *The Last of Us*, is set to continue its gripping narrative over the course of four seasons, according to executive Francesca Orsi. While she emphasized that there's no "complete or final plan" set in stone, Orsi hinted to Deadline that the show might wrap up after the current season and two more following it. "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 stated.

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. The show's unique approach to wardrobe and makeup will differentiate these groups from the average survivor, adding a fresh visual element to the series.

If you haven't yet caught up with the first season, there's still time before the premiere of Episode 1 of Season 2 in April. Unlike Season 1, which adapted the entirety of the first game, HBO has planned to stretch *The Last of Us Part 2* across multiple seasons, with Season 2 concluding after seven episodes at a "natural breakpoint."

Season 2 will introduce fresh faces to the series, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. The role of Catherine O'Hara remains a mystery, sparking curiosity among fans.

In IGN's The Last of Us: Season 1 review, the series 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.
