‘The Last of Us’ Season 3: What Characters Are Coming Back?
During his talk with Variety, Craig Mazin confirmed what fans hoped for: our favorite characters aren't going anywhere.
“All I can say is we haven’t seen the last of Kaitlyn Dever and we haven’t seen the last of Bella Ramsey, and we haven’t seen the last of Isabela Merced,” he said.
This means that Abby, Ellie and Dina are all set to return. However, Mazin revealed more than just that. He teased deceased characters coming back by saying:
“And we haven’t seen the last of a lot of people who are currently dead in the story.”
‘The Last of Us’: Who Is Currently Dead?
Now, let's take a look at some of the most important characters from The Last of Us who are currently dead in the story.
The Last of Us Season 1 important deaths:
- Frank and Bill: committed suicide together
- Riley: infected and then killed by Ellie
- Tess: killed by infected while saving Joel and Ellie
- Sam: infected and then killed by his brother Henry
- Henry: committed suicide after killing Sam

The Last of Us Season 2 important deaths:
- Joel: killed by Abby
- Nora: tortured and left infected in the hospital basement by Ellie
- Owen: shot by Ellie
- Mel & her unborn child: accidentally killed by Ellie
- Jesse: killed by Abby
Although all these deaths seemed definitive, Mazin suggests that some of these characters may have more story to tell. Perhaps through flashbacks? Or alternative timelines? Or something even more unexpected?
Important: in the games, no one has actually come back from the dead. Flashbacks are there. But other than that, there have been no literal resurrections.
