HBO's critically acclaimed The Last of Us series is poised for a four-season run, according to an executive. Francesca Orsi, an HBO executive, hinted that the show's future extends beyond the currently airing season, suggesting three additional seasons are planned. While emphasizing that no formal plan is finalized, Orsi stated, "it's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done."

Regarding the highly anticipated Season 2, premiering in April 2025, Orsi teased intriguing details about the factions vying for survival. She highlighted the unique visual presentation of these groups, noting distinct wardrobe and makeup choices that set them apart. "There's a certain way [the show] is presenting them in wardrobe and makeup that feels really different than the average person," she explained.

Catch up on Season 1 before Season 2 premieres in April! Unlike Season 1, which adapted the first game completely, Season 2 will span a portion of The Last of Us Part II, utilizing a "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes.

Season 2 introduces several new cast members, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. Catherine O'Hara's role remains shrouded in mystery.

IGN's review of Season 1 lauded the show as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," awarding it a 9/10 rating.
