According to HBO, the filming for the second season of the television adaptation of The Last of Us will likely commence in 2024

This delay is mainly due to the ongoing writers and actors strike in Hollywood prompting a change in schedule

Despite the planned start of production next year, the HBO series is not slated for release in 2024, indicating it may take at least a year post filming for the new season to become available

Showrunner Craig Mazin had expressed hopes of releasing the second season by 2025

The first season of The Last of Us covered the narrative from the inaugural game, with the sequel's storyline expected to span across more than one season.n
