The Last of Us has faced a major setback.
The Last of Us was originally a video game series developed by Naughty Dog and is a post-apocalyptic media franchise that was released in 2013. Since its release, it has turned into an empire with comics, remakes, and a highly successful series on HBO. There are now two video games with remasters, and the HBO adaptation is currently working on its third season.

01
The world falls apart overnight. What’s your first instinct?
AFind the people I love and get them somewhere safe — everything else can wait
BGrab a weapon and figure it out as I go — I’ve survived worse than this
CAssess what’s actually happening before anyone panics — emotion gets people killed
DStart organizing — one person can survive, but a group can rebuild

02
A stranger asks you for help. You have enough supplies for two. What do you do?
AHelp them — but stay alert. Trust is earned, and I’m watching their every move
BHelp them if they’ll join the cause — every person is a potential ally in something bigger
CShare what I can — I know what it’s like to have no one, and I won’t become that person
DWalk away — I can’t risk it. The people depending on me come first, always

03
What thought keeps you up at night in a world like this?
AThat my immunity to pain is actually just numbness — and one day I’ll crack
BThat I couldn’t save someone when it mattered most — and I’ll never stop replaying it
CThat the sacrifices I’ve asked others to make were for nothing
DThat I’ve been so focused on surviving I forgot what I was surviving for
NEXT →
04
You’re forced to choose: save one person you love, or save a group of strangers. What do you do?
ASave the one I love — I don’t care if the world judges me, they’re my whole world
BSave the group — then hate myself for it every single day, but it was the right call
CSave the group — because that’s what the person I love would want me to do
DRefuse the choice — find a third option even if it seems impossible

05
How do you handle the weight of things you’ve had to do to survive?
ATell myself it was necessary — the mission is bigger than any one person’s guilt
BUse humor and anger to keep moving — if I stop to think about it, I’ll drown
CLock it away — I don’t talk about it, I don’t think about it, I keep going
DAccept it coldly — guilt is a luxury I can’t afford right now

06

AThat I run toward danger like I have nothing to lose — and it scares the people who care about me
BThat I treat people like chess pieces — efficient, but cold when it counts
CThat I love too hard and too selfish — I’d let the world burn for one person
DThat I believe so deeply in the cause that I forget the cost falls on real people

If you could have one thing in this broken world, what would it be?
AA second chance — to go back and do right by the people I failed
BPurpose — something that makes all the loss and all the fighting actually mean something
CHonesty — just one person who’ll tell me the truth, even when it’s ugly
DA cure — not just for the infection, but for everything that’s broken in us

Joel
The Protector
“I struggled for a long time with survivin’. And you — no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for.”
You are the person people count on when everything falls apart — even if you’d never describe yourself that way. You’ve been through loss that would have hollowed out anyone else, and it did hollow you out for a while. But somewhere along the way, someone got through the walls you built, and now you’d burn down the entire world to keep them safe. People mistake your silence for coldness. It’s not. It’s the sound of someone carrying more than they’ll ever admit. Your love isn’t gentle — it’s ferocious, selfish, and the most human thing about you.

Ellie
The Fighter
“After all we’ve been through. Everything that I’ve done. It can’t be for nothing.”
You are terrifyingly brave — not because you aren’t scared, but because fear has never once stopped you from doing what needs to be done. You use humor like armor and anger like fuel, and most people never see the grief underneath both. You carry guilt you didn’t earn and a sense of purpose that borders on self-destruction. The world keeps taking from you and you keep getting back up, fists clenched, jaw set, daring it to try again. You’re not unbreakable — you’re just too stubborn to stay down.

Tess
The Realist
“There’s enough here that you have to feel some sort of obligation to me. So you get her there.”
You see the world exactly as it is — no delusions, no fairy tales, no wasted sentiment. That doesn’t make you heartless; it makes you the most reliable person in any room. While everyone else is paralyzed by hope or fear, you’re already three moves ahead, calculating the angles, weighing the costs. You’ve made peace with hard truths that would destroy softer people. But beneath all that pragmatism is someone who cares deeply enough to make the ultimate sacrifice without hesitation — as long as it means something.

Marlene
The Leader
“This isn’t about me. Or even her. There is no other choice here.”
You are the person who sees the bigger picture when everyone else is focused on what’s right in front of them. You carry the weight of impossible decisions and the loneliness that comes with them. People follow you because you believe — really, truly believe — that things can be better, and that conviction is magnetic. But the cost of leadership is that you sometimes have to treat people as means to an end, and that contradiction eats at you more than you’d ever let anyone see. You didn’t choose this burden. But you’ll carry it because no one else will.

It has been confirmed that production for season 3 of The Last of Us is on a hiatus from June 1 to June 28 for reasons unknown. The news was confirmed through the official British Columbia directory for productions currently taking place. The Last of Us is listed under the pseudonym Calm Current and is being filmed in Vancouver. Filming began on March 2, with production expected to conclude on November 27. One of the main reasons filming has stopped is due to the World Cup matches about to take place.
Season 3 of The Last of Us is shifting to focus on Kaitlyn Dever’s character, Abby, and her perspective, including a three-day journey in Seattle. It will show more of her backstory, the fallout of her father’s death, and her journey until her path crossed with Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) and Joel (played by Pedro Pascal). If the series is faithful, it will also offer deeper lore about the war between the Washington Liberation Front and the Seraphites.
Recent set photos show Abby and Lev (played by Kyriana Kratter) walking through Seattle armed with weapons. Lev is a transgender teenage boy and member of the Seraphites. Another character joining season 3 is Lev’s sister Yara, played by Michelle Mao. The Seraphites are known in the franchise as a cult and antagonist faction who are attempting to take control of Seattle from WLF.
Season 1 of the series debuted with a strong and almost perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating of 96%, with the second season receiving a rating of 92%. However, season 2 of The Last of Us was an incredibly divisive season on Rotten Tomatoes with critics giving a near-perfect score and the audience’s rating was an abysmal 37%. With over 5,000 reviews, audiences stated that season 2 was “a massive step down from the first,” and to “not waste your time.”
The Last of Us seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch on HBO Max.
