It comes as no surprise to anyone that HBO has confirmed The Last of Us for a second season. It was already known that the first season of the series covers the entire first game. And that doesn’t seem to change for the second season. Following the news of the second season confirmation, assistant showrunner (and games co-director) Neil Druckmann announced that the second season of The Last of Us will feature The Last of Us Part II.
Released for PlayStation 4 in 2020, The Last of Us Part II puts players in control of Ellie after a significant time jump. For those who haven’t played the game or don’t know the plot, the second season can be a bit complicated. Moreover, there is a possibility that the content of the second game will not fit into just a standard season. So it wouldn’t be too surprising to hear that the series may choose to turn this game into multiple seasons or a season split into two parts. Because the producers of the series also give signals of this in their statements.

In short, The Last of Us series, which has already attracted great attention with its first season, contains many interesting possibilities for the second season. But before we know those possibilities, we’ll have to keep enjoying the first season. Three episodes of The Last of Us have just aired on HBO, and it looks like it will take time to get more information for the second season.
