THE LAST OF US FANS MAY BE EXPECTED TO WAIT A LOT TIME FOR THE RELEASE OF SEASON THREE OF THE HIT HBO SHOW... 15:11, 03 Jun 2025 Fans of the HBO hit series The Last of Us can likely expect a
long wait for the third season of the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic drama television series. Season two of the drama finished last week, with some fans branding it as
"disappointing". The season finale ended with Bella Ramsey's character Ellie confronting vengeful killer Abby, who is played by Kaitlyn Dever. The series is based on the video
game franchise developed by Naughty Dog, which was released in 2013 on Xbox and Playstation. The show quickly became a fan favourite due to viewers enjoyment of the game. Despite mixed
reviews for the season finale, it was already renewed for a third season ahead of the season two release date. Similar to the game, the next season is expected to shift to Abby's
perspective. At a press conference last month, according to Vulture, co-creator Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann admitted they still aren’t sure how much viewers can expect to see characters
Ellie, Dina (Isabela Merced), Tommy (Gabriel Luna), and Jesse (Young Mazino) in the next season. This led fans to believe the creators haven't completed writing the season yet. Article

character would take on a smaller role in the third season, the 21-year-old said: "I haven’t seen any scripts, but yes, I do expect that. I think that I’m going to be there, but not a
whole bunch." Although they did not give anything away, they continued: "We’ve had conversations about that. I sort of have a rough idea of what it’s going to be, but I can’t tell
you." However, creator Craig revealed: "All I can say is we haven’t seen the last of Kaitlyn Dever and we haven’t seen the last of Bella Ramsey, and we haven’t seen the last of
Isabela Merced, and we haven’t seen the last of a lot of people who are currently dead in the story." As Neil teased: "Whether you will see them on screen or not, their presence
will be there throughout." Speaking previously about the show's future, Craig assured viewers that they were "not going to go past the game." He told The Hollywood
Reporter: "I’ll just say that flat out. So if people are thinking, ‘Oh, these guys are planning the old cash grab thing… "I’m basically setting a decade of my rapidly dwindling
life on fire to tell this story. The show is so hard to make. It has to have an end. So I’m not going to go past." _JOIN THE_ _DAILY RECORD'S WHATSAPP COMMUNITY HERE __AND GET THE

Honestly and a lot of people agree with me on this 2027 to see another 7 or 8 episodes is a joke." Which promoted another viewer to reply: "They should have made season 2 as long
as it took. 15 or 20 episodes. Just f*****g do it." As a third replied, showing their distrust to HBO: "The current head of HBO sucks and is making terrible decisions."
