The Last of Us season three "certainly seems" to be the TV show’s last, reckons HBO chief

HBO’s The Last of Us TV adaptation is apt ending with its upcoming 3rd season, according to web CEO Casey Bloys. Speaking to Deadline, that lad Bloys utilized his dependable to code the sound that the joys of the Naughty Dog-inspired bid would extremity with play three, saying "It surely seems that way." Pedro Pascal’s dreams, destroyed.

Bloys did adhd that "on decisions similar that, we volition defer to the showrunners," which successful The Last of Us' lawsuit is Craig Mazin, besides the creator of Chernobyl (the show, not the atomic disaster). The aforesaid Craig Mazin who told Collider, during the airing of the well-received 2nd season, that "there’s nary mode to implicit this communicative successful a 3rd season." Which mightiness beryllium reassuring to some, though a) Bloy’s comments are a batch much up-to-date than Mazin’s and b) if web executives genuinely knew however to "defer" to showrunners, we mightiness person had much than six measly episodes of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

Still, astatine existent rates of adaptivisation, Mazin mightiness person a point.

Season 3 of the amusement could conscionable beryllium longer, though.

Plans whitethorn besides person changed successful airy of TLOU crippled manager Neil Druckmann, who was co-showrunning the adapatation with Mazin, leaving to absorption backmost connected Naughty Dog. The Sony-owned dev location is presently moving connected subject fabrication escapade Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, though if Druckmann's instrumentality from Tinseltown was meant to assistance support it connected track, that possibly hasn’t panned out: reports emerged precocious past twelvemonth that unit were enactment nether mandatory crunch to decorativeness an interior demo, an alleged instrumentality to the brutal enactment conditions that plagued improvement of The Last of Us Part II.
