In the wake of Neil Druckmann<\/a> stepping down from \u201cThe Last of Us<\/a>\u201c, HBO exec Casey Bloys has given an update on when fans can expect the third season. Brace yourselves; it\u2019s going to be a very long wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe series is definitely planned for 2027,\u201d Bloys told Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s quite a long wait, but that\u2019s not the only update. The exec reveals to the outlet that showrunner and lead writer Craig Mazin is currently determining how long the series will actually run. Bloys states, \u201cCraig is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season. It hasn\u2019t been decided yet, and I\u2019m following Craig\u2019s lead on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bloys also addressed Druckmann\u2019s departure. \u201cA lot of people don\u2019t realize that Neil has a full time job creating video games and running Naughty Dog,\u201d Bloys concluded. \u201cIt\u2019s a really big job that he\u2019s got. So I understand why he needs to focus on that. But I believe he\u2019s given us a good blueprint with the show. And obviously Craig is a pro, so I think we\u2019ll be in excellent shape. I\u2019m not worried at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not entirely unexpected, considering HBO executive Francesca Orsi previously suggested that the series was shaping up for a four-season run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s ahead, the upcoming season will primarily tell Abby\u2019s side of the story. It\u2019s the same approach taken by the video game\u00a0The Last of Us Part II, which the HBO series is adapting across at least two seasons of television. Abby is played by\u00a0Kaitlyn Dever, who joined the second season of the HBO series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Last of Us\u201c Season 3 will show us what Abby was up to while Ellie was hunting her down in Seattle. \u201cAbby is the hero of her story,\u201c series co-creator Craig Mazin\u00a0recently noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The series recently received a whopping sixteen Emmy nominations<\/a>, but is clearly undergoing some changes ahead of season three. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
