The Last of Us Season 3 is planned to be released in 2027. HBO and Max's content chairman and CEO, Casey Bloys, confirmed the release window for season 3 as 2027. The showrunner Craig Mazin is still deciding whether the story will be wrapped up in one more long season or spread over two more seasons. Production is still in the writing phase and set to begin later, making an earlier release unlikely. Season 3 will primarily focus on the character Abby and is expected to be longer than Season 2, potentially matching the length of Season 1. The wait from Season 2, which premiered in April 2025, to Season 3 will be roughly two years or more depending on the final season structure and production timeline.
