How many seasons of The Last of Us will there be? The Last of Us has been a colossal success for HBO, bringing in an estimated 4.7 million US viewers on the night it debuted, the second biggest audience for a HBO show since House of the Dragon.
The Last of Us has also received rave reviews (Read our The Last of Us review here), and it’s basically been the first big TV series of 2023. There’s just something dreadfully entertaining about the perilous adventures of Ellie and Joel.
Unfortunately, though, all good things must come to an end, and fans want to know how many seasons of The Last of Us will there be before they have to say goodbye to our favourite The Last of Us characters forever.
How many seasons will there be in The Last of Us?
As of March 2023, HBO has confirmed that The Last of Us will run for two seasons, but Craig Mazin thinks it could run for longer than that.
The first season adapted the first The Last of Us game, and it was assumed that season 2 would adapt The Last of Us Part 2. That said, the popularity of The Last of Us has people speculating that HBO may stretch out the events of the second game so they could make a hypothetical season 3. Co-showrunner Craig Mazin has hinted that season 2 won’t be the end, saying he thinks the show will “be around for a while”.
It’s also possible that we’ll get The Last of Us Part 3 one day in the future, which may provide the material for another series or two.
