the series is already crushing the greatest

Widely acclaimed, The Last of Us series is already completely crushing its main competitors and could well go down in history very soon.

The Last of Us series won’t be back until 2025, at best, but it’s time for season 1 to be professionally reviewed. Will the adaptation of Naughty Dog’s masterpiece manage to be as rewarded as its video game counterpart? The HBO show rubs shoulders with other programs, including internal ones, which have been huge successes.

The Last of Us series soon to be crowned?

Season 1 of The Last of Us series was a huge hit. Following the airing of episode 9, the television adaptation became HBO’s highest-grossing after the spin-off of Game Of Thrones, House of the Dragon. To see such a thing again, you have to go back twelve years to the release of the pilot of Boardwalk Empire. The new mafia fresco from the creator of the series The Sopranos.

The latest episode of TLOU HBO was viewed by more than 8.2 million Americans on first airing. While the same evening, there was the very popular meeting of the Oscars 2023. The series The Last of Us has just won 25 nominations for the 2023 Emmy Awards. The ceremony which awards the best programs on American television.

This very high number of nominations is unprecedented for an adaptation of a video game. The Last of Us series is not there to make up the numbers since it will face Succession, The White Lotus, The Crown (Netflix), Better Call SaulAndor (Disney+), Yellowjackets or Wednesday.

Bella Ramsey (Ellie) and Pedro Pascal (Joel) are nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series and Best Actor in a Drama Series, respectively. The duo of course has a chance of winning these prizes, but it will be very complicated all the same. The competition is very tough and there are already real darlings like Succession. And the supporting roles? They are not forgotten. Murray Bartlett (Frank), Lamar Johnson (Henry Burrell), Nick Offerman (Bill), Keivonn Montreal Woodard (Sam) are in the list of nominees for the Emmy Awards 2023 for the series The Last of Us season 1.

Any news from season 2?

Season 2 of the series The Last of Us should not land in 2025. An estimate that does not even take into account the writers’ strike in Hollywood and its repercussions. So for now, no need to wait for crazy information about him. However, Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Neil Druckmann of the Dogs have already said what they wanted overall. And they are true to their vision. The idea is not to evade the most important events of The Last of Us 2, on which the new episodes will be based, while injecting new things.

One more season and then go? It could continue but nothing is decided yet. The reception of season 2 will surely act as a barometer. “Our goal is not to settle for just one more season. We should stick around for a while. We’ve vaguely heard there are ideas for a Season 3 of the show, but for now we’re taking things one season at a time. There’s no guarantee at this point that we’ll get one, but I know they both have a vision for Season 3. I don’t know yet if that will lead to us doing more seasons” Mazin said.

If you haven’t seen The Last of Us season 1, it’s still free until July 15 on Amazon Prime Video.
