HBO has renewed “The Last of Us” for Season 2 faster than a deadly fungus can spread.
The premium cabler has ordered a second season of the series version of the PlayStation video game of the same name after only two episodes have aired, with the third set to run this Sunday on HBO and HBO Max.
“I’m humbled, honored, and frankly overwhelmed that so many people have tuned in and connected with our retelling of Joel and Ellie’s journey. The collaboration with Craig Mazin, our incredible cast & crew, and HBO exceeded my already high expectations,” said executive producer Neil Druckmann, who was also the writer and creative director of the game. “Now we have the absolute pleasure of being able to do it again with season two! On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog & PlayStation, thank you!”
