"The Last of Us Season 4 Uncertain: Craig Mazin Says Story Can't End in Season 3"

by Hunter May 25,2025

The Last of Us' TV adaptation has been a massive hit, securing a Season 3 renewal even before Season 2 began. However, the question remains: will there be a Season 4? According to showrunner Craig Mazin, a fourth season is almost a necessity to fully tell the story from the two Naughty Dog video games.

In a conversation with Collider, Mazin explained that attempting to wrap up the narrative in Season 3 would make it excessively long. He stated that Season 3 might be longer than Season 2, but "there’s no way to complete this narrative in a third season." Mazin expressed optimism, saying, "Hopefully, we’ll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That’s the most likely outcome."
