HBO's critically acclaimed The Last of Us series is slated for a four-season run, according to an executive.
Francesca Orsi, an HBO executive, hinted at a four-season arc for the hit show, clarifying that while there's no finalized plan, a four-season run is the current projection. "It's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done," Orsi told Deadline.
Regarding the anticipated April 2025 Season 2 premiere, Orsi teased the introduction of compelling factions vying for survival. She highlighted their unique visual presentation, stating, "There’s a certain way [the show] is presenting them in wardrobe and makeup that feels really different than the average person."

Catch up on Season 1 before the April premiere of Season 2. Unlike Season 1, which adapted the first game in its entirety, Season 2 will span The Last of Us Part II over multiple episodes, utilizing a "natural breakpoint" after seven episodes.
Season 2 introduces several new characters: 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 it as "a stunning adaptation," awarding it a 9/10 score.
