Production Timeline Shift for the Acclaimed HBO Series

Fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of HBO’s The Last of Us may have to exercise patience. Recent reports suggest that production on the highly anticipated third season is facing delays.

Contrary to earlier speculation suggesting a late 2025 start, it now appears that filming for Season 3 of The Last of Us is unlikely to commence until next year. This news stems from an interview with Isabela merced, who portrays Dina in the series.

I think this will take place next year.

Merced’s statement casts doubt on previous rumors and provides a more realistic,albeit potentially disappointing,timeline for fans.

Potential Release Window: A look into the Future

Given the production timeline and the gap between the first and second seasons, a 2027 release for The Last of Us Season 3 seems increasingly probable. The interval between the broadcast of the initial season and the current second season spanned just over two years.

If filming indeed begins next year, post-production, including visual effects and editing, will likely require a significant amount of time. This extended process makes a 2027 premiere a realistic expectation for viewers.

Season 2 Update: where We Stand

As of today, four episodes of the second season of The Last of Us have already been released. The season is set to consist of seven episodes in total, leaving three more installments for fans to enjoy. The fifth episode is scheduled to be available soon.
