HBO renewed The Last of Us for a third season before season 2 even came out. That being said, it seems like we’re going to have to wait years to see what happens after that big cliffhanger. In a press conference May 23, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann said they still didn’t know how much Ellie, Dina, Tommy and Jesse will be in season 3. Which indicates they probably haven’t finished writing it. Bella Ramsey says they haven’t seen scripts yet, backing up this theory. “I haven’t seen any scripts, but yes, I do expect that,” Ramsey said. “I think that I’m going to be there, but not a whole bunch. We’ve had conversations about that. I sort of have a rough idea of what it’s going to be, but I can’t tell you.”
Just like in the game, this next season of The Last of Us will be a perspective flip. Instead of following Ramsey’s Ellie, season 3 will be all about Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby. Dever is currently filming Godzilla X Kong: Supernova. But once that wraps, maybe it’s time for some zombies? Mazin knows it’s time to get the lead out. “It’s getting harder to make, because every episode gets big,” he told Variety. “You don’t want to wait four years for a 17-episode finish, or whatever it is.”
