HBO’s adaptation of “The Last of Us” has garnered significant attention and praise since its debut, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey captivating audiences as Joel and Ellie. The series, based on the beloved video game, has earned acclaim from both fans and critics alike, boasting impressive ratings on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes.
Recently, HBO CEO Casey Bloys provided a positive update regarding the production of the show’s highly anticipated second season. Bloys revealed that filming for “The Last of Us” Season 2 is set to commence in early 2024. However, this timeline is contingent upon the resolution of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike with the AMPTP. The strike has caused delays in production schedules across the industry, affecting numerous projects, including “The Last of Us.”
Despite the delay caused by the strike, Bloys expressed optimism about the future of the series. He clarified that while Season 2 was not included in HBO’s release slate for 2024, the network remains committed to bringing the next installment to viewers as soon as possible. This update suggests that fans may have to wait until 2025 for the release of “The Last of Us” Season 2.
Overall, the news of filming resuming for the second season is a positive development for fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of the story. As production moves forward, viewers can look forward to returning to the immersive and gripping world of “The Last of Us.”
