The Last of Us: here are how many seasons will last the series so adored before the end

The event series The Last of Us is about to unveil its second season And a question already burns all the lips: until when are we going to follow Joel and Ellie in this devastated world? Francesca Orsi, manager of dramatic series at HBO, has lifted a corner of the veil.

The series The Last of Us should spread out on four seasons, according to HBO

From the start, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the brains behind the adaptation, had warned: The Last of Us Part II is a narrative monster. Larger, more complex, populated by new characters with subtle arcs, it would have been difficult to want to condense it in a single season. HBO seems to have understood the extent of the project and prefers to let history breathe, thus avoiding distorting it.

Season 2, which will have seven episodes and will land in the spring, will lay the first stone of an announced trajectory. Because according to Francesca Orsi, the series should spread out on four seasons before bowing out. A prudent declaration, but which finally gives a course. “We don't have a frozen plan yet, but it seems that we are heading for four seasons. I cannot say it with certainty, but this season, followed by two others, and we will come to the end of the story ”she explained.

But will these four seasons really be enough to do justice to this epic so rich in emotions and nuances? Where the rub is on the side of Naughty Dog. If The Last of Us Part II Seems to find its balance in these four seasons, what about a hypothetical video game suite? Sony and his favorite studio have never excluded a The Last of Us Part IIIbut at this point, nothing is official. If the latter is born, will HBO follow the movement or will it stick to its initial plan? Orsi plays the card of prudence and therefore leaves the door ajar.
