HBO's critically acclaimed series, The Last of Us, is set to captivate audiences for four seasons, according to executive Francesca Orsi. While Orsi mentioned that "it's looking like" the show will run for this duration, she emphasized that there is no "complete or final plan" at this stage. "I wouldn't want to confirm that, but it's looking like this season and then two more seasons after this, and we're done," Orsi shared with Deadline.

As fans eagerly await the return of the show in April 2025, Orsi teased what viewers can expect from the new season. "There's certain elements in terms of the various factions that are competing for survival that reveal themselves as a really intriguing survivalist group, and I think they just have a quality to them that feels distinct in how they present it," she explained. She also highlighted the unique approach to the show's portrayal of these groups, noting differences in wardrobe and makeup that set them apart from the average person.
