HBO chairman and CEO Casey Bloys has suggested that The Last of Us could finish after its third season, telling Deadline that the network will defer such decisions to the show's creative leads. The comment was reported by Push Square.
When asked whether The Last of Us and Hacks would be concluded once season three had aired, Bloys was quoted as saying: "It certainly seems that way, but on decisions like that, we will defer to the showrunners. So you can ask them."
The Last of Us is HBO's high-profile adaptation of Naughty Dog's 2013 game, created for television by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann and starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The series received significant critical and audience attention on its debut, with ongoing discussions about its scope and future shaped by the showrunners' creative direction.
No formal confirmation of a final-season decision has been issued by the series' creators, who retain authority over the show's narrative arc and long-term planning. Bloys' remarks underline HBO's stance of deferring to the showrunners on the question of how many seasons the adaptation should encompass.
