澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us co-showrunner Crai🅺g Mazin has teased a season count for the HBO show – and it’s a little longer thꦜan we were expecting.

"We’ve laid out our꧅ vision to HBO for how this serie🎉s should lay out across not one season, but multiple seasons," Mazin told .

When asked if The Last of Us would last four seasons – a nu🌼mber he landed on earlier in th𒊎e interview – Mazin replied: "You never know. It can end up being three or five. But four seems like a good number. Some seasons, because of the story we’re telling, will need fewer episodes and some will need more."

Mazin also once again re-affirmed that adapting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us Part 2 would be 🍎a bigger job than the first Last of Us game.

"What I can 💦certainly confirm is that that story does not fit into one season," M💮azin said.

The co-showrunner had 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previously addressed the impact of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actors’ strike and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:writers’ strike on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us season 2 production🍷 – namely that he felt a 2025 return🥂 date for the show was still looking feasible.

"Wе can’t keep our original start dates forever obviously," Mazin told in July. "If these strikes go much longer we inevitably will have to push and that hurts us, and it hurts the audience, and it hurts HBO."

The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, premiered on HBO in early 2023 to plaudits from both critics and audiences alike. It’s also a major fixture of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Emmys 2023 nominations list, garnering 24 nods.
