Author: Aaron May 24,2025

The TV adaptation of *The Last of Us* has been a smashing hit, with Season 3 getting the green light even before Season 2 had its premiere. Now, fans are buzzing with excitement and curiosity about the possibility of a Season 4. Showrunner Craig Mazin has dropped some intriguing hints about the future of the series, suggesting that a fourth season might be crucial to fully tell the story drawn from the two video games developed by Naughty Dog.

In a recent chat with Collider, Mazin explained that squeezing the entire narrative into Season 3 would be a stretch, saying, "Season 3 would take forever." He acknowledged that while Season 3 might be lengthier than Season 2, it's simply not feasible to wrap up the saga in just three seasons. Mazin expressed his hopes for the show's continued success, stating, "Hopefully, we’ll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That’s the most likely outcome."
