Frankly, the confirmation should not come as a surprise. HBO’s live-action adaptation of Naughty Dog’s multi-prize-winning gaming series names brother is not only one of the best max shows around, but also one of the most watched HBO TV originals of all time. And with early reviews for The last of us Season 2 praised it pretty much for another fantastic rate, it would have been a huge shock if Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey-Fronted program suddenly ended after two seasons.
This option was never really on the cards. In a speech in February, HBO’s leader of programming, drama and film Francesca Orsi confirmed anything but The last of us would run for four seasons. The show’s renewal was therefore always a case of when not if.
