The producers of HBO’s “The Last of Us” adaption were already considering how they would make a second season, and Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, expressed confidence that it would happen. But up until this point, everything has been rumour and hearsay while Warner Bros. execs certainly awaited the results of the first season.
The fact that both the first and second episodes shattered audience records suggests that the decision-makers aren’t holding off on announcing that “The Last of Us” has been formally given a second season since, well, that’s what just happened. Officially, “The Last of Us” will receive a second season, according to a Warner Media press release.
The breakthrough zombie drama about the destructive power of love, “The Last of Us,” producers discussed this wonderful development for the programme as well as what might lie ahead for a second season.
The Last of Us’ creators are elated
Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the show’s creators, expressed their delight about continuing Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s narrative on HBO in a press release that announced the show would receive a second season.
“We retold Joel and Ellie’s journey, and I’m grateful, honoured, and quite honestly overwhelmed that so many people have seen and connected with it. My already high hopes for the partnership with Craig Mazin, our fantastic cast, and HBO were exceeded, “According to Druckmann’s remark. “With season two, we now have the great pleasure of doing it once more! Thank you on behalf of Naughty Dog and PlayStation.”
The millions of individuals who have accompanied us on this adventure have made me very grateful, Mazin said. “I’m really grateful to Neil Druckmann and HBO for our relationship,” she added. As a supporter of the characters and the world that Neil and Naughty Dog created, I couldn’t be more eager to jump back in now that the audience has given us the chance to go on.
The Last of Us Part II, which was released in 2020 and told the tale of an adult Ellie seeking retribution, will be adapted into the events of a second season, the two creators have already stated. It also seemed likely that the events of “The Last of Us Part II” could be divided into two seasons because the game was so lengthy for a linear story-based game—roughly twice as long as the original game. However, this is merely conjecture.
On HBO and HBO Max, brand-new episodes of “The Last of Us” air every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.
