HBO Exec Predicts 4 Seasons for The Last of Us

HBO's critically acclaimed series, *The Last of Us*, is set to captivate audiences for an anticipated four seasons, according to executive Francesca Orsi. While Orsi noted to Deadline that there's no "complete or final plan" yet, she indicated that "it's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done." Fans can mark their calendars as the eagerly awaited second season is slated to premiere in April 2025.

As for what viewers can look forward to in the upcoming season, Orsi teased intriguing developments. "There's certain elements in terms of the various factions that are competing for survival that reveal themselves as a really intriguing survivalist group, and I think they just have a quality to them that feels distinct in how they present it," she explained.

For those who missed the first season, there's still time to catch up before the premiere of Episode 1 of Season 2 in April. Unlike Season 1, which covered the entire first game, HBO plans to stretch *The Last of Us Part 2* across multiple seasons, with Season 2 featuring a "natural breakpoint" after just seven episodes.

Season 2 will introduce a fresh lineup of characters, including Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Tati Gabrielle as Mel. While the role of Catherine O'Hara remains a mystery, anticipation continues to build around these new additions.

In IGN's review of The Last of Us: Season 1, the series was lauded as "a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike," earning a commendable 9/10 score. This praise underscores the show's successful translation from game to screen, setting high expectations for the forthcoming seasons.
