Only Neil Druckmann Can Change HBO’s Mind With Pedro Pascal’s The Last of Us Franchise

HBO’s highly anticipated video game adaptation of The Last of Us has taken an interesting turn; it is being speculated that HBO will continue with the series for a total of 4 seasons, which seems to be a pill a little too hard to digest, especially considering HBO’s track record.

The Last of Us season 2 is on the verge of being released in April 2025. The first season was released in 2023. If the analogy mentioned above is true, then it is fair to believe that the next two seasons will at least take 5 more years to finish by the time we might get a third addition to the game, and HBO would not want to let that opportunity slip away.

Neil Druckmann needs to play the creator card to extend the series

Neil Druckmann, the mastermind behind the game and the showrunner of the HBO series, is the only man with the potential to change HBO’s mind since he is the only one with any idea of what The Last of Us can be expanded into.

His creative drive and persuasive skills might be the key factors involved in making HBO believe that 4 seasons are not enough to encapsulate the vastness of the game’s universe and that it deserves more for it to feel complete and fulfilled.

The Last of Us Show is likely to be done after 4 seasons according to HBO

“We don’t have a complete or final plan, but I think it’s looking like four seasons. I wouldn’t want to confirm that, but it’s looking like this season and then two more seasons after this and we’re done.”

This to me is super unlikely unless:

1. The Last of Us Part 3 isn’t coming out
2. The Last of Us Part 3 won’t be adapted
3. The Last of Us Part 3 is being covered in only one season

I honestly don’t believe this because HBO will likely do Part 2 in 3 Seasons and I assume they would do another couple once The Last of Us Part 3 releases!

The first season of The Last of Us got a pretty great response from the audience and helped widen the scope of the game by enabling it to reach beyond gaming consoles and PCs. The universality of the story resonated with many people, including non-gamers as well, which is a great feat for any creator.

However, any announcements regarding The Last of Us Part 3 are non-existent. Druckmann has only vaguely once mentioned that he has many ideas for part 3, but there has been no further development on it. Under these circumstances, there is a slight chance that there might just only be 4 seasons.

There is a lot to cover in The Last of Us universe

The universe of The Last of Us is extremely vast, with a lot of subplots, characters, events, and history. If one wishes to, they can juice a lot of things out of it, and Druckmann might convince HBO to do so if part 3 is not happening.

The story of Tommy or the fireflies could be explored to the fullest, or Joel’s backstory and life before the apocalypse. There are just a lot of things that could be covered in the future seasons.

However, nothing has been officially announced as of now, and these are just speculations. We might get a clearer picture once season 2 of the show is out in April. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
