HBO's The Last of Us Will Likely Run for Four Seasons

HBO's excellent adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us doesn't have a definitive end in sight, but "it's currently looking like four seasons" will be needed to tell the tale as we know it.

That's according to a new interview from Deadline with HBO executive Francesca Orsi (thanks, Eurogamer). Potentially giving everyone some wiggle room in case the story grows in the telling, Orsi said: "I wouldn't want to confirm that, but it's looking like [season 2], and then two more seasons after this and we're done".

This mostly lines up with what showrunners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin have previously said, and so it seems we can look forward to more gory goodness in the years to come. Season 2 kicks off in April, and if you thought the first lacked infected, more Clickers have been confirmed, which should add some more action to the dramatic, slow-burning series.
