The Last of Us’ Second Season Facing Delays
The highly anticipated second season of HBO’s adaptation of the game, The Last of Us, has hit a roadblock due to the Hollywood actors’ strike. Consequently, the release date for the series is expected to be pushed back to 2025.
The initial adaptation of The Last of Us series by HBO received immense appreciation from viewers. While the second season of the series was eagerly awaited, recent updates have left fans disheartened.
Casey Bloys, the content chief at HBO Max, had previously announced the commencement of filming for the second season in early 2024. However, in a recent statement, Bloys revealed that the production has been postponed due to the strike among Hollywood actors. With the series not on HBO’s list for 2024, its release might be delayed until 2025.
Neil Druckmann, one of the creators of the series, mentioned that the broad outlines for the second season are set, and they plan to dive into work as soon as the strike concludes.
In addition to The Last of Us, Bloys shared updates on other projects. He mentioned that the second season of House of the Dragon is set to premiere in the early summer of 2024, while the third season of White Lotus and its spinoff, Welcome to Derry, are scheduled for a 2025 release.
Future Prospects and Adjusted Timelines
The setback in filming The Last of Us’ second season might disappoint ardent fans, but the creators and network are committed to delivering a stellar season once the hurdles are cleared.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds and as the production team sets new timelines for this highly awaited series.
