'The Last of Us' Season 3: What's Next for Ellie and Abby, Release Date & Everything We Know
Season 3 will bring many surprises to viewers, from a change in perspective to the most terrifying monster in the history of The Last of Us universe. Below are all the predictions for what will happen in Season 3.
Season 2 of The Last of Us was controversial – it failed to fully convey the brutal and uncompromising nature of the original game.
In any case, we are in for at least one more season of The Last of Us, and likely two, given Craig Mazin's comments. Let's figure out what might happen to the characters in Season 3.
The following text contains spoilers for The Last of Us Season 3!
'The Last of Us' Season 3 Will Focus on Abby
_37748.webp)
Season 2 of The Last of Us ended abruptly. Ellie finally encountered her enemy and the target of her revenge quest, Abby.
After the shootout between the two, the story moves back two days. This time, however, viewers see the world through the eyes of Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever.
The creators of The Last of Us have confirmed that Season 3 will focus on Abby. A significant part of the story campaign in the original video game The Last of Us Part II is played from her perspective.
The series creators decided to do the same, telling the story from Abby's perspective and devoting an entire season to her. We will likely see how Abby met Yara and Lev, the Scars who escaped their settlement.
The three of them will have to fight the Seraphites and the infected, which will eventually bring them closer together. Abby and Lev will work together to save Yara, who will be seriously injured and need medicine for surgery.
Through these and other dangerous adventures, Lev will become like a younger brother to Abby. In caring for him, she will find a new meaning in life.
We can assume that we will see a few flashbacks of Abby's teenage years and her close relationship with her father.
The creators of the game focused on the importance of perspective and the fact that the view of a situation and the motivations of different people can offer completely different interpretations of the same event.
Season 3 Might Finally Show The Rat King
In Season 3 of The Last of Us, the creators will most likely show how Abby encounters the most terrible infected in the world of The Last of Us while looking for medicine for Yara in the hospital.
We're talking about The Rat King – several infected fused together to form one massive, horrifying monster.
What Will Happen to Ellie in Season 3?
Of course, Ellie will survive the Season 2 finale. In the game, Tommy blocks Abby's hand, preventing her from hitting Ellie. He gets hit with an arrow by Lev and shot in the shoulder by Abby, but survives.
However, Season 3 will probably have little to no Ellie – her role may be limited to one scene in the theater.
Season 3 Will Delve Deeper Into the WLF & Scars Confrontation
Viewers will also witness the clash between the Washington Liberation Front and the Seraphites.
The third season will immerse viewers in the world of a major war unfolding in the ruins of Seattle. As the seventh episode reveals, the WLF, led by Isaac, is preparing for a large-scale attack on the Scars' main settlement.
'The Last of Us' Season 3 Release Date
The exact release date has not yet been announced, but it's likely we will have to wait about two years for new episodes again – the third season might not be released until 2027.
Craig Mazin hinted at the possibility of a fourth season. According to the showrunner, the original source's plot is so large-scale that the perfect option would be to extend the show for a fourth season.
