The second season of The Last of Us concluded on May 25, 2025, after beginning in April. Unfortunately, fans will likely have to wait until 2027 for the third season. The season finale was full of shocking twists: Ellie killed Mel, who was pregnant, and Owen, while Abby retaliated by shooting Jesse and kidnapping Tommy. The season ended with Ellie and Abby gearing up for a final showdown, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger.
Kaitlyn Dever recently told Deadline she’s preparing to film more scenes for Season 3 of The Last of Us. She’ll be heading to set in a few days to begin preparations and expressed her excitement about having a larger role this season.
The upcoming season of The Last of Us will mirror the events of the video game by shifting its focus to Abby’s perspective. Just as the game forced players to experience the story through Abby’s eyes after she killed Joel, the show will do the same, giving actress Kaitlyn Dever a central role in telling her side of the story. This will likely be a surprising turn for viewers, as Abby is initially presented as an antagonist.
Dever believes fans will enjoy the new season’s focus on Abby, particularly the deeper look into her story and the flashbacks. She’s enthusiastic about what viewers will think.
The Last of Us Season 3 Missing Co-Creator Neil Druckmann
It’s encouraging that The Last of Us continues to follow the game’s structure by focusing on Abby’s perspective. However, fans are wondering what’s next for the show, especially now that Neil Druckmann – the co-creator and director of the original games, and a key figure in the first two seasons – is leaving the series. His absence from the writing team is worrying for those who enjoyed how closely the HBO adaptation followed the source material.
Neil Druckmann won’t be writing or directing any episodes this season, but he’s still involved as a co-creator and executive producer. This isn’t unusual – fans will remember George R.R. Martin expressing concerns about changes to Game of Thrones even though he wasn’t fully in charge. Another key figure, Halley Gross – an executive producer and co-writer of The Last of Us Part II – has also left the show. These changes have led to speculation about whether Season 3 will be the final season of The Last of Us.
