Fans of the series “The Last of Us” will have to be patient, because the second season of the post-apocalyptic series will not be released until 2025, according to HBO CEO Casey Bloys, writes AFP.

When asked when we might see Joel, played by Pedro Pascal, and Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, HBO programming director Casey Bloys simply said, “I don’t know (…) sometime in 2025.”

The adaptation of the video game of the same name, The Last of Us, a thriller in which humanity goes through a pandemic caused by a parasitic fungus, has won millions of viewers worldwide, as well as high critical acclaim, unlike previous video game adaptations.

“You never know how a show is going to work,” it’s “very well done in every way” and “people recognize the quality,” comments Casey Bloys.

The second season will be based on the second part of the video game, which may be split into two seasons, Casey Bloys noted.

Instead, the final season of another HBO hit, Inheritance, is due to air in the United States from Sunday.

“It was completely Jesse’s (Armstrong, creator, editor’s note) decision, and I think respecting the creators’ decision is generally the right thing to do (…) Of course, I wish it was better, but it is.” he said.” Casey Bloys elaborated. .

Nearly a year after WarnerMedia, HBO’s parent company, merged with Discovery, which led to layoffs, “we’re in a good position as a company,” he said. “There’s been a lot of restructuring, but the good news is that we’re past that point.”
