A second season of the post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us has fans giddy even though it hasn’t even been a month since the series launched on HBO. As expected, this comes as no great shock. The series, created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (who also created the game that the programme is based on), is rapidly becoming one of HBO’s most successful shows ever.
Compared to the previous episode, which also included Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett, the third episode had an increase in viewers of 12%. With 6.4 million people tuning in. Fans of the game as well as those who are new to the story are admiring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s portrayals of Joel and Ellie all over the Internet.
HBO announced on January 27 that they would be renewing The Last of Us for a second season. There isn’t much we can tell you about Season 2 of The Last of Us just yet. As we’re only a few episodes into the first part of the drama. But don’t worry, TV Guide has all the details on what to expect in the next episode right here.
The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, is currently the most talked-about show on television.
Based on the video game of the same name, this post-apocalyptic drama stars Pedro Pascal as smuggler Joel. Who must convey teen Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across the United States. The global pandemic of 2003 was caused by a fungal infection. But Ellie is resistant to the disease and could be the key to developing a vaccine.
Even though only one of the series’ nine episodes has been aired thus far. We can clearly tell that The Last of Us will become a huge hit with us.
Will There Be The Last Of Season 2?
“I’m delighted, honoured, and honestly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in. And engaged with our recounting of Joel and Ellie’s adventure,” said executive producer Neil Druckmann, who also designed the game. The work we did together with Craig Mazin, our stellar cast and crew, and HBO was better than I could have imagined. The opportunity to do so once more, with season 2, is a true blessing. From all of us here at Naughty Dog and PlayStation, we sincerely appreciate it.
Mazin has stated in interviews with RadioTimes.com. And other media outlets that “things sometimes are getting stretched” in a world. Where “television series are fully flexible, they can have as many episodes as seemingly they need”
And I am a picky viewer indeed. I always take people up on their “you should watch this” recommendations. Someone recommended that I watch Season 3, Episode 9 since that’s when things get interesting, but I said, “No, I’m not going to do that.” As a new viewer, I’m hoping to get in at the season one premiere and enjoy every episode.

Is The Last Of Us Renewed?
As quickly as a deadly fungus can spread, HBO has renewed “The Last of Us” for a second season.
After only two episodes, the premium cabler has ordered a second season of the series based on the PlayStation game of the same name, with the third episode premiering this Sunday on HBO and HBO Max.
That so many people have tuned in and found meaning in our sharing of Joel and Ellie’s story has humbled, honoured, and overwhelmed me. “The collaboration with Craig Mazin, our wonderful cast & crew, and HBO surpassed my already high expectations,” said Executive Producer & Creative Director Neil Druckmann. We are thrilled to be able to do it all over again for season two! From all of us here at Naughty Dog and PlayStation, we sincerely appreciate it.

What Will Be In The Last Of Season 2?
The Last of Us, a blockbuster HBO series, was renewed for a second season shortly after its second episode premiered. Leaving fans curious about the show’s future. There is already a sequel to the game out. And it has been said that the first season of the TV show will most likely cover the whole tale of the first game.
This raises expectations for the third installment, The Last of Us Part II. The sequel is very different from the first. It is roughly twice as long and tells a far more intricate story than the original. It will be intriguing to see what the second season brings. Given that the first has proved it isn’t hesitant to extend and shift story beats.
Conclusion
With The Last of Us, HBO has scored another home run. It was no surprise that HBO renewed the post-apocalyptic zombie drama for a second season so soon after its premiere. As it has quickly become one of the most popular and critically praised television shows of recent years.
The sequel to The Last of Us, scheduled for release in 2020, will serve as inspiration for the show’s upcoming second season. Craig Mazin, the show’s co-creator and showrunner, has said that he thinks the plot of the game is too big and sprawling to be condensed into a single television season.
