The Last of Us Part II might take longer than one season to adapt

Television giant HBO has been churning out hits-after-hits every year ever since its establishment. While 2022 belonged to the Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon, the year 2023 is off to a great start with The Last of Us. The video game adaptation’s pilot episode raked in a record number of viewers, sitting just behind House of the Dragon’s first episode in ratings. Just two episodes into its first season, the show has been already renewed for a second installment, as confirmed by the official The Last of Us Twitter account.

According to a recent interview with IGN, showrunner Craig Mazin on being asked about how far they are into filming the second season of The Last of Us part II, said, “It’s a big animal to take apart, you know?” Because it’s a much bigger story and it’s a more complicated story. It’s a beautiful story. It’s more than a season’s worth of television, for sure.”

He added, “But you know, ultimately, we can’t get there until folks watch it, you know, and HBO gives us the good news.”
