Hold in there The Last of Us fans. We’re in the midst of a very small content drought but according to Craig Mazin, co-executive producer on HBO’s TV adaptation, we need not worry. The show is due to last for at least four seasons.
We’re still awaiting news on Naughty Dog’s next release.Marvel’s Spider-Man 2swings onto PS5 consoles on 20 October though.

Inan interviewwith The Hollywood Reporter, Mazin explained, “[The show] can end up being three or five [seasons]. But four seems like a good number. Some seasons, because of the story we’re telling, will need fewer episodes and some will need more. The best news is the audience wants more. We will not indulge a desire for more simply to make them happier when they hear how many episodes are announced. And if they don’t like how many episodes are in a season because they want more, well, OK.”
“But when all is said and done, I think the wisdom of how we lay it out will hopefully be clear. I don’t know if any season will actually have the same amount of episodes. But, whatever, the number’s not important. What’s important is when they get to the end of the season, they’re like, ‘That was a good season.'" So the good news is that we’re getting at least four seasons. The bad news is that it sounds like at least one of those seasons is due to be pretty short.
It makes sense to cover the entirety of the events in Seattle in one season, surely? Could the farmhouse and Santa Barbara portions be their own mini season? Is that enough to fill a season? I have so many questions, but in Mazin and Druckmann we trust.
