The TV adaptation of *The Last of Us* has taken the world by storm, securing a Season 3 renewal even before Season 2 hit the screens. But fans are buzzing with the question: Will there be a Season 4? Showrunner Craig Mazin has made it clear that a fourth season is almost a necessity to fully explore the narrative laid out in the two acclaimed video games developed by Naughty Dog.
In a recent interview with Collider, Mazin explained that attempting to conclude the story within Season 3 would stretch it out indefinitely. He noted that while Season 3 might be "longer than Season 2," wrapping up the entire saga in just three seasons is simply not feasible. "There's no way to complete this narrative in a third season," he stated, emphasizing the complexity and depth of the storyline.
Mazin went on to express his hope that the series would continue to captivate audiences, saying, "Hopefully, we’ll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That’s the most likely outcome." This suggests that fans should prepare for an extended journey through the post-apocalyptic world of *The Last of Us*.
