As HBO’s acclaimed adaptation of The Last of Us gears up for its third season, speculation is rife about whether this will be the series’ final chapter. HBO boss Casey Bloys has hinted that it certainly seems that way, casting doubt on the previously suggested four-season arc by showrunner Craig Mazin. This shift in direction comes amid mixed reviews for Season 2 and the departure of game creator Neil Druckmann from the show’s creative team.
