Fans of The Last of Us are eagerly anticipating the HBO series' third season. Right before season two wrapped on May 25, the show's cocreator Craig Mazin confirmed that the post-apocalyptic drama, starring Bella Ramsey, Isabela Merced and (on occasion) Pedro Pascal, would return for a third season. Almost two months later, HBO content CEO Casey Bloys hinted during an interview with Variety, published on Tuesday, July 15, that fans may need to be patient ahead of The Last of Us' return.
