HBO’s initial season of The Last of Us was a huge success. The show, which was created by Craig Mazin of Chernobyl and Neil Druckmann, the head of Naughty Dog studio, was nominated for five Primetime Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Outstanding Director, and Outstanding Writing. It also won multiple Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

HBO’s Francesca Orsi appears to have confirmed that The Last of Us will run for a total of four seasons, indicating the network’s excitement for additional episodes due to the popularity of the first season. Therefore, the entire game will not be adapted for this new season.
