Season 3 is going to be about Abby. Just like the players of The Last of Us Part II, the viewers of the show can expect the change in perspective. Season 3 will challenge our assumptions about good and bad.
“The point of this story — and this is looked at from so many different angles in so many different ways — is that the entire concept of protagonist is flawed. The entire concept of villain is flawed,” Craig Mazin said to The Hollywood Reporter.
‘The Last of Us’ Season 3 Might Run Longer Than Season 2
The best news for fans hungry for more content comes from showrunner Craig Mazin himself, who has hinted at a longer season ahead.
“I think there’s a decent chance that Season 3 will be longer than Season 2, just because the manner of that narrative and the opportunities it affords us are a little different,” he said during his talk with Collider.

But the good news doesn't stop there. Kaitlyn Dever dropped some exciting hints during her Los Angeles Times interview.
“All he [Craig Mazin] said to me was, “Just get ready for what’s to come because it’s going to be crazier.” He always said he wanted to make Season 2 bigger than Season 1, and he said Season 3 is going to be even bigger.”
