The Last of Us' TV adaptation has been a massive hit, securing a third season before the second even aired. Now, fans are buzzing about the possibility of a fourth season. Showrunner Craig Mazin has made it clear that wrapping up the saga from the two Naughty Dog video games in just three seasons is a tall order. In a chat with Collider, Mazin pointed out that squeezing everything into Season 3 "would take forever," suggesting that Season 3 might be longer than Season 2. However, he firmly believes that "there's no way to complete this narrative in a third season."
Mazin remains optimistic, stating, "Hopefully, we'll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That's the most likely outcome." This statement has fans eagerly anticipating how the story will unfold across these additional seasons.
