Brace yourselves: ‘The Last of Us’ is getting a Season 2.
HBO has renewed The Last of Us for a second season, so get ready for more nightmare-inducing Clickers.
Since Season 1 covers the entire events of the first Last of Us game, that means Season 2 will adapt Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II. However, as co-creator Craig Mazin said in an interview with Gizmodo, “I think that the amount of story that remains that we have not covered would be more than a season of television. So assuming we can keep going forward, the idea would be to do more than just one more season.”
Based on that, it seems like it will take all of Season 2 and a hypothetical Season 3 to get through the heartbreaking events of The Last of Us Part II. But once that’s done, can we expect more seasons of The Last of Us?
Unless there are any new games, the answer is no. In that same interview, Mazin said, “I am not interested in going beyond the existing source material. As a viewer, I have no problem watching shows that just keep going and going and going. No problem. But as a writer, I don’t want to be in the position of spinning plates to just spool out season after season of stuff.”
The new question becomes, will there be more source material? Can we expect The Last of Us Part III? The Last of Us co-creator and Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann addressed this question in an interview with Buzzfeed, saying: “With The Last of Us, it’s up to us whether we want to continue it or not. Our process is the same thing we did when we did Part II, which is if we can come up with a compelling story that has this universal message and statement about love — just like the first and second game did — then we will tell that story. If we can’t come up with something, we have a very strong ending with Part II, and that will be the end.”
The Last of Us is now streaming on HBO Max. New episodes air every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

UK weather: Brits brace for White Christmas with 10cm of snow to hit in HOURS bringing power cut warning & travel chaos
BRITS are bracing for a White Christmas with snow showers to hit in HOURS.
The Met Office has put large parts of Scotland under yellow weather warnings on Christmas Day – with up to 10cm of snow expected to fall.

Most of the Scottish highlands – as well as some lowland areas near Glasgow, Perth and Edinburgh – are set to be covered by the white stuff from 9pm today until 6pm on Boxing Day.
Temperatures could fall as low as 1C on Sunday night and meteorologists warned: “Frequent blustery snow showers are likely to cause some travel disruption to higher routes.”
The Met Office also suggested those living in affected areas should prepare for power cuts.
Deputy chief meteorologist David Oliver said: “An unsettled Christmas weekend is on the way for many, with those in the north and west seeing the most frequent and the heaviest showers.
“High winds will affect some coasts through the weekend with gales in places, especially the north and west.
“Christmas Day will be unsettled for many, with the most frequent showers in the northern half of the UK and some more sporadic and mostly lighter showers further south.
“There is some uncertainty about the timing of colder air from the northwest, but it looks like this will introduce some snow showers to the northwest of Scotland late on Christmas Day.”
For those in central and eastern parts of England, weather conditions across the festive period are set to remain mostly dry.
It comes as people across the UK have been hit with travel disruptions and chaos after extreme weather.
The beginning of the week saw nine flood warnings and 43 alerts in force across England, with a further seven in Wales.
While the drastic rise in temperature from -17C to 15C a few days ago led to carnage as 30,000 people were affected by burst pipes.
And in Manchester Airport earlier this month passengers were devastated when hundreds of flights were cancelled due to both runways being closed.
Passengers this week are now reporting baggage waits of up to seven hours due to a knock on affect from the heavy snowfall.
