The fans of The last of us we will have to wait a little longer for the second season of the series. HBO announced in January that production on the Naughty Dog game adaptation was underway. But this Thursday, November 2, Casey Bloys, head of content at HBO and Max, announced that the second season will only go into production in early 2024.
Bloys explained in a press conference (via Variety) that production was delayed due to strikes by the Hollywood Screenwriters’ Union (WGA) and Actors’ Union (SAG-AFTRA), the latter still ongoing. Additionally, Variety reported that the series was not scheduled for HBO’s 2024 schedule, suggesting that the second season may not be released until 2025.
So, fans will have to wait a little longer for the second season of The last of us.
However, it is worth noting that preparations have already been made for the new season. “We have already worked out all the episodes for the second season and are ready to start as soon as the strike ends,” said series co-creator Neil Druckmann in an interview with Weekly entertainment published in September. Additionally, showrunner Craig Mazin confirmed that he submitted a script for the season’s first episode shortly before the WGA strike began.
