You never know. <strong>It could be three, it could be five, but four seems like a good number<\/strong>.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mazin further clarifies, &#8216;Certain seasons, because of the story we&#8217;re telling, may require fewer episodes, and others may require more,&#8217; which is why the creative team is still uncertain. However, he emphasizes that the most positive aspect is that &#8216;the audience wants more.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Last of Us | Official Trailer | Max\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uLtkt8BonwM?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the first season of the series <strong>has covered the entire storyline of the first game<\/strong>.

In other words, this installment can be divided into two seasons without any issues. But is there more on the horizon for the franchise that we&#8217;re unaware of?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth noting that the pre-production of the second season has been halted due to the ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-ceos-of-the-big-platforms-meet-to-end-at-once-the-hollywood-strike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">writers&#8217; strike in the United States<\/a>.
