The Last of Us TV series has been renewed for a second season. In a tweet, HBO confirmed the next chapter in its live-action adaptation of the renowned PlayStation video game, merely two episodes into season 1. The original game writer and now co-President of Naughty Dog responded to the tweet, claiming that the new season will chart the events from the polarising gory sequel, The Last of Us Part II. Craig Mazin — co-writer on the show — previously hinted that an adaptation of the sequel was likely if enough people watched it, convincing the studio to lock in a new season.

While season 2.

“I'm so grateful to Merle Dandridge as Marlene, the leader of the rebel group Fireflies. The latter also voiced the same character in the original game.

The Last of Us season 2 will likely follow the story of The Game Awards 2020, including winning the prestigious Game of the Year trophy.

There's also a possibility that season two might end up being a two-parter. Speaking to IGN last week, Mazin explained that the story in The Last of Us Part 2 is “more than a season's worth of television.” “It's a big animal to take apart, you know?”, he said. “Because it's a much bigger story, and it's a more complicated story, I think it's a beautiful story.”

New episodes of The Last of Us stream every Monday on Disney+ Hotstar, at 8:30am in India.
