HBO boss not worried about The Last of Us without Neil Druckmann, as season three gets 2027 release window
The third season of HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation is slated for release in 2027.
That’s coming from HBO’s CEO Casey Bloy, who in an interview with Variety said the third season “is definitely planned” for 2027. Meanwhile, while there has been previous chatter about the show running for four seasons, this third outing may well in fact be its last.
“[Showrunner Craig Mazin] is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season,” Bloy said. “It hasn’t been decided yet, and I’m following Craig’s lead on that.”

Bloy’s comments come after Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann announced he was stepping back from The Last of Us TV series to move his complete focus back to the studio.
“Obviously it was great to have Neil involved in the beginning. The whole reason that I wanted to do Last of Us is after Chernobyl, I said to Craig, ‘what do you want to do next?’ And Last of Us was what he wanted to do,” Bloy said when asked about Druckmann’s decision to step back from the show.
