The Last of Us Season 3 is planned for release in 2027. As of mid-2025, the exact release date has not been announced, but HBO's content chief Casey Bloys confirmed the series is definitely aiming for 2027. The showrunner Craig Mazin is still deciding whether there will be two more seasons or one extended season. Production and writing are ongoing, with a longer season expected compared to Season 2. The third season will focus more on the character Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, with possibly less emphasis on Ellie. Given that Season 2 premiered in early 2025, this roughly two-year gap aligns with previous release patterns for the series. Filming for Season 3 is expected to start sometime in 2026, so a 2027 release is the best current estimate.
