\t\t<\/p>\n The showrunner for HBO\u2019s The Last of Us <\/em><\/strong>is giving a big hint about the future of the series.<\/p>\n The show has already been renewed for a third season<\/a>, by the way! The season 2 finale airs on Sunday (May 25).<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe thing about Joel\u2019s death is that it\u2019s so impactful.<\/a> It\u2019s such a narrative nuclear bomb that it\u2019s hard to wander away from it. We can\u2019t really take a break and move off to the side and do a Bill-and-Frank story [the Nick Offerman<\/strong><\/a> and Murray Bartlett<\/strong><\/a> season 1 episode],\u201d showrunner Craig Mazin<\/strong> said to Collider<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not sure that will necessarily be true for Season 3. I think we\u2019ll have a little more room there. But certainly, there\u2019s no way to complete this narrative in a third season. Hopefully, we\u2019ll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That\u2019s the most likely outcome,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Meaning, it could be that the show will need four seasons to tell the full story!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
