More than a few TV and film adaptations of video games have impressed in recent years, and in that group, few have scaled the sort of heights that HBO’s The Last of Us did last year. So successful was the show’s first season that shortly after its premiere, a second one was officially greenlit, and though reports have previously pegged it for a 2025 premiere, a specific release date has remained elusive.

By now, Game of Thrones stands as one of the most colossal franchises, so it is no wonder that it has spawned numerous spinoffs. Recently, a creator from a shelved spinoff revealed insights into what might have unfolded in the series.

Production on has officially begun, with James Gunn taking to social media to celebrate with a new photo.

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss recently addressed the divisive fan reaction to the series finale, acknowledging that while they expected some controversy, the magnitude of the backlash took them by surprise.

While it’s never a smart idea to pin all of your hopes on a single product when that product is easily the best video game adaptation ever and was so good even the Emmys and Golden Globes acknowledged how incredible it was, you tend to feel safe knowing that the same team is making another season of the story. The Last Of Us Season 2 took a while to get going production-wise due to the strikes within Hollywood last year, but it’s up and running now, and fans can’t wait to see what happens with the sophomore season. Just as important, they want to know when they’ll be able to watch it.

HBO's The Last of Us season 2 production is in full swing, and showrunner Craig Mazin had a vague response to the circulating fan theories surrounding leaked set photos.

has grown quite a bit this morning, as four more stars have signed on to the HBO television adaptation of the critically acclaimed video game series.

We’ve seen a bit of a boom lately regarding films and television series being adapted from video game source material. It’s not necessarily new, but we’re seeing more success lately. A good reason for some of these successes is that the source material is not trying to be crammed into a movie. That’s precisely what was going to happen to The Last of Us before HBO picked up a television series. 

There are some very anticipated fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming second season of The Last of Us. That first season was released with immense success, which prompted HBO to greenlight a second season before the first even concluded. Today, we’re finding out that Pedro Pascal was able to share a minor update on his time currently filming the following season.

True Detective season 4 just ended, and while many fans have made their dislike of it loud and clear online, others have started pointing out significant flaws they noticed earlier in the series. One season in particular is receiving all the heat.

The True Detective season 4 finale premiered last night on HBO, resulting in mixed reviews, and some are more pessimistic than others. Today, after the show’s dramatic conclusion, fans of the anthology series aren’t holding back on what bothered them about the show this season.

will play Ellie’s love interest, Dina, in the upcoming second season of . The actress recently talked about the show, other projects, and her “unhealthy obsession with video games.”

The Last of Us was a massive hit on HBO, and with its success, the network was quick to renew the series for a second season early into the first season. However, if you’re eager to get into the next season, you’ll be left waiting a good while. We already know that the second season is not set to air until next year after the Hollywood strikes caused production delays across the board. But today, we learned that the second season has already begun filming. 

As The Last of Us season 2 finally starts filming, a new photo from behind the scenes shows off a location that fans of the iconic video games series the show is based on will be intimately familiar with.

A ton of anticipation is built around the upcoming season of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog captured quite a thrilling storyline featured in a cinematic-style gameplay experience. As a result, it might have been easy for this adaptation to captivate an audience of both gamers and non-gamers. HBO had greenlit the second season of The Last of Us before the first season wrapped, and it soon will enter production.

The Last of Us was such a massive hit on HBO. Naughty Dog created a truly cinematic gameplay experience that translated well into a series adaptation. This live-action series was released and gained a following immediately, prompting HBO to order a second season. However, the second season has not had the smoothest start. You can blame the delay in this production on the strikes in Hollywood. But now that the strikes have ended, productions have once again started back up with The Last of Us season two, which is expected to begin filming shortly.

The Last of Us season 2 cast added Isabela Merced as Ellie's love interest Dina, and viewers can already get a glimpse at the onscreen pair through a fan's artistic vision.

The recent flurry of casting announcements for major characters in season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us are continuing. Following announcements of Kaitlyn Dever being cast as Abby and Young Mazino being cast as Jesse, HBO has now announced that The Last of Us has also found its Dina in Isabela Merced.

It’s been a big week for, as yet another character — Dina — has been cast for the next season of the HBO video game adaptation.

Production on season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us is beginning to ramp up, which means we’re also starting to get official casting announcements for key characters that will be introduced when the season premiers in 2025. Recently, it was announced that Kaitlyn Dever had been cast as Abby, and now, another important role has been filled.

The Last of Us season 2 has found its Abby in Kaitlyn Dever, confirming previous reports. In a tweet, HBO confirmed that the Booksmart star will be playing the second protagonist — some prefer seeing her as a villain — in the post-apocalyptic series, posing a new challenge to Ellie Williams (Bella Ramsey). Interestingly, Dever had a prior connection to the show when fans lobbied the studio to cast her as the 13-year-old Ellie, due to her facial resemblance to the in-game character and her involvement in the Uncharted 4 game — also from developer Naughty Dog. However, co-creator Neil Druckmann and the team opted for a younger actor in Ramsey, who in my opinion, nailed the role.

HBO’s The Last of Us received widespread praise for its first season, with its immaculate casting being one of several things it drew praise for- following which, understandably enough, there’s been no shortage of curiosity around how the show will cast some of its most crucial characters for upcoming seasons. One character in particular that’s been at the center of most conversations is, of course, Abby, the deuteragonist of The Last of Us Part 2, and we now officially know who’ll be portraying her in the show’s upcoming second season, which is set to premier in 2025.

HBO has announced that actress Kaitlyn Dever has joined The Last of Us Season 2 cast as Abby, who is Ellie’s rival in the second video game.

A The Last of Us spin-off TV series focusing on survivors Bill and Frank has been pitched.

We got what’s probably among the best and most successful adaptations of a game last year with HBO’s The Last of Us, and unsurprisingly for a series that was as universally well-received as it was, it’s scooping up a significant amount of awards and accolades at well.

Like every other media production, The Last of Us’ second season on HBO was held up for several months by the writers and actors strikes in Hollywood, but with the strikes now having wrapped up, the show is preparing to move ahead for next steps.

The Last of Us season 2 will reportedly begin filming in early 2024. As per the FTIA production list, the second chapter is slated to shoot from January 7, 2024, onwards. The shooting schedule was delayed due to the Hollywood actors' and writers' strikes — both of which have ended now. Considering the show was not mentioned in HBO's 2024 slate, we can assume it will be out sometime in 2025 at the soonest. This is a bit off course from what lead Bella Ramsey — who played Ellie in season 1 — suggested, at a time when there were murmurs of a potential strike. It goes without saying that the series will adapt the events from the gory and polarising sequel, The Last of Us Part II, with plans for the arc from the video game to play out for longer than a season.

HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us was one of 2023’s biggest success stories in entertainment media, and it was no big surprise when the company officially greenlit a second season of the show. Of course, much of the year has also seen an active strike in Hollywood that has paused production industry-wide, including the second season of The Last of Us.

The second season of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation is currently expected to enter production in early 2024.

With the now confirmed to be in production, many fans are wondering who will play Professor Severus Snape in the upcoming TV show. With Alan Rickman delivering an incredible experience in the movies, there’s a lot of pressure on HBO to cast a worthy successor. Adam Driver stands tall as the fan-favorite choice, but is that a realistic expectation?
