The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckman confirmed the show’s third season will largely focus on Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby in at a recent FYC event for The Last of Us season 2 (via THR ).

HBO renewed The Last of Us for a third season ahead of the Season 2 premiere in April 2025. Season 2 adapts part of the video game The Last of Us Part II, and we're expecting Season 3 to continue to draw primarily from the source material.

As The Last of Us is already confirmed to be gearing up for a season 3, the upcoming chapter is set to present viewers with a vastly different tale.

Making a television series can be a lot like surviving the apocalypse. Most of the time you're thrown together with a group of strangers and forced to overcome differences with the hopes of achieving something larger than yourself — maybe even forming a sort of family along the way.

The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann revealed new Season 3 plot details, confirming a major change in the narrative.

Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin created The Last of Us, an American post-apocalyptic drama television series for HBO.

The Last of Us season two, episode six will be available to watch on HBO and to stream on Max on May 18, 2025. New episodes of The Last of Us season twoair each Sunday through May 25, 2025.

In the second episode of Season 2, Pedro Pascal's character Joel Miller is brutally killed by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). This prompted a strong reaction from viewers, just as it did for gamers when Naughty Dog's The Last of Us: Part II killed off Joel.

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 6 packs such an emotional punch that it's difficult to see past Joel (Pedro Pascal) finally playing "Future Days" for Ellie (Bella Ramsey), or the teary scene in which he comes clean about what really happened at the Firefly hospital.
