The third season of The Last of Us might be the final one for the HBO series. This was reported by insider Daniel Richtman, who stated that the new chapter "is being built as the last one."
HBO has not officially announced the show's conclusion after the third season. However, HBO head Casey Bloys previously said that showrunner Craig Mazin would decide whether to make the finale one large season or two smaller ones. If the rumor is confirmed, viewers can expect one massive season that will cover events from Abby's perspective and the final part of Ellie's story.
The third season is already in production. Filming began in March 2026 and, according to preliminary data, is expected to conclude on November 27. The premiere is anticipated in 2027.
