"Last of Us Season 4 Uncertain: Craig Mazin Says Story Can't End in Season 3"

The television adaptation of *The Last of Us* has been a resounding success, with a third season greenlit even before the second season began. Fans are eagerly wondering if the series will extend to a fourth season. Showrunner Craig Mazin has shed light on this, suggesting that a fourth season is not just a possibility, but a necessity to fully tell the story from the two Naughty Dog video games.

In a conversation with Collider, Mazin explained that attempting to wrap up the narrative in just three seasons would result in an excessively long Season 3. He noted, "Season 3 would take forever" and acknowledged that there's a "decent chance" it will be longer than Season 2. However, he firmly stated that "there's no way to complete this narrative in a third season."

Mazin expressed optimism about the series' future, saying, "Hopefully, we'll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That's the most likely outcome." This suggests that fans can look forward to a comprehensive conclusion to the epic tale of *The Last of Us* in a fourth season, provided the show continues to captivate audiences and critics alike.
