The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin has hinted that the hit HBO series won’t end at season two.
During a panel about the apocalyptic drama on Sunday (16 April) at Nab in Las Vegas, Mazin said there’s “quite a bit of story to tell”.
“Our plan is to do it not just for one more season,” he said of the show starring Pedro Pascal. “We should be around for a while.”
The update comes after Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, gave her thoughts on when season two is likely to arrive.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show last month, Ramsey said, “It will be a while. I think we’ll probably shoot at the end of this year, beginning of next.”
“So it’ll probably be the end of 2024, early 2025.”

Sarah Paulson has recalled the time when she financially helped out Pedro Pascal while he was struggling to land acting work.
In a new profile of The Last of Us Star published on Tuesday (11 April), the 48-year-old Bird Box actor reminisced about her and Pascal’s longtime friendship.
“He’s talked about this publicly,” she told Esquire. “But there were times when I would give him my per diem from a job I was working on so that he could have money to feed himself.”
Paulson said there was something about Pascal that makes you “want him to succeed”.
“And that, to me, is the sign of a major movie star,” she continued. “I’m ready for him to take the reins from the guys from romantic comedies [of the] past, like Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson and all these guys.
“He can be all that. Let’s remake Die Hard with Pedro.

Gwendoline Christie has spoken about how the hair and makeup team on Netflix’s hit series Wednesday made her feel “beautiful” for the first time on screen.
The British actor, best known for portraying Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, stars as Nevermore principal Larissa Weems in the new Addams Family adaptation.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the series, Christie expressed her gratitude to American costume designer Colleen Atwood for her work on the character.
“It is the first time I’ve ever felt beautiful on screen,” she said.
“Colleen Atwood is rightfully a legend, and what she does is close to witchcraft in terms of transformation. It is an honour of my life to work with Colleen and to work with Tim [Burton].”
The actor continued: “The way she made me feel was my body felt celebrated and beautiful. Never once did I feel like there was something to...

The showrunner behind Wednesday has revealed his plans for a potential second season.
Starring Jenna Ortega as the title character, the new hit Netflix series follows the deadpan daughter of the Addams family during her student years at Nevermore Academy.
Since its launch on Netflix earlier this month (23 November), the comedy-horror series has been highly praised by fans, with many already feverish to see what more can come from the story.
Although Wednesday has yet to be renewed for season two, showrunner Miles Millar has revealed that he’s already given it some thought. For him, a focus on the family, including Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luiz Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams, would be essential.
“We felt like we just touched the surface with those characters and the actors are so amazing in those roles,” Millar explained in a conversation with TVLine.
“Catherine is, I think, an iconic Morticia. The...

Jenna Ortega, the star of Netflix’s Wednesday, has explained how she avoided “ripping off” Christina Ricci.
Ortega plays Wednesday Addams in the new series, adapted from the characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams.
The role was previously played by Ricci in two live-action films in the 1990s: The Addams Family and its sequel, Addams Family Values.
Wednesday has garnered mixed reviews from critics – including a critical two-star write up from The Independent’s Nick Hilton – but has been warmly received by viewers, with its Rotten Tomatoes score setting a milestone for Addams Family adaptations.
Ricci also appears in the series, playing one of Wednesday’s teachers.
In an interview with MTV News, Ortega revealed that she didn’t talk about the character with Ricci at all to make sure her own performance was distinct.
“I think when [Christina] was on set, neither one of us said ‘Wednesday’ once to each other,...

Netflix’s new Addams Family adaptation Wednesday has set an unlikely milestone on Rotten Tomatoes.
The series stars Jenna Ortega (X) as Wednesday Addams, based on the character first created by cartoonist Charles Addams.
Wednesday is the latest in a long line of Addams Family adaptations, which has included multiple TV series, a live-action film franchise, and two recent animated films.
Alongside Ortega, Luiz Guzmán plays Gomez Addams and Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Morticia. Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the 1990s film adaptations, also features as one of Wednesday’s teachers.
The series has received mixed reviews, with The Independent’s Nick Hilton describing it as “rather lacking in quality” in a two-star write-up.
“From writing that sounds like it’s been reverse engineered through Google Translate to a deeply confusing central mystery, the world that series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have built is gossamer thin,” he wrote.

Netflix viewers have hailed one small but key piece of casting in the new Addams Family adaptation, Wednesday.
The series, based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams, sees Jenna Ortega (X; Jane the Virgin) play Wednesday Addams.
Among the supporting cast are Luiz Guzmán, who plays Gomez, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia. Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in the 1990s film adaptations, also makes an appearance as one of Wednesday’s teachers.
However, there was one piece of casting that Netflix kept secret until close to the series’ release date earlier this week: who would be playing Uncle Fester.
As it turns out, Fester is played in the series by comedian and former Saturday Night Live star Fred Armisen.
Viewers expressed delight about the casting on social media, with some branding the decision to cast Armisen as “genius”.

Emily Blunt has revealed what she dreads seeing in film and TV scripts.
The actor can currently be seen in BBC Two drama The English, starring as a woman on a revenge mission in 1890s America who collides with Chaske Spencer’s Eli Whipp, a Pawnee-born ex-us army officer on an adventure of his own.
In a four-star review for The Independent, Nick Hilton wrote that the series is “pure, delicious, American cheese that, at its best, feels like a Coen brothers creation”.
Speaking to The Telegraph in a new interview, Blunt said: “I love a character with a secret. And I loved Cornelia’s buoyancy, her hopefulness, her guilelessness.”
She added: “It’s the worst thing ever when you open a script and read the words ‘strong female lead’. That makes me roll my eyes – I’m already out. I’m bored.
“Those roles are written as incredibly stoic,...
