New leaked information about "The Last of Us Part 3" gives hope for the future of the HBO series, and predicts new characters that will completely change the course of events
Recent leaks from the making of The Last of Us Part III have been a hopeful sign for the future of the HBO series, as the show may shift its focus to new characters.
Here's What We Know
After adapting the first of two existing The Last of Us games into the first season of the series, showrunners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin are close to running out of source material. They may have to adapt The Last of Us Part III before the game is even released.
Adapting yet-to-be-released material didn't work "perfectly" for Game of Thrones, but leaks and rumours about The Last of Us Part III suggest a promising future for the HBO show. The Last of Us series has been so successful and has so much potential that HBO has no intention of ending it for a second season.
New leaks from The Last of Us Part III suggest that the third part will deviate from the Abby storyline and introduce even more new characters - and that could be great for the TV show. According to reports, The Last of Us Part III will be about a group of surviving hunters living in a Victorian house on the outskirts of town.
"Leaked" casting information revealed five new character names: Val, Ezra, Mason, Lucas and Gracie. Val and Ezra are fighting for control of the group, Mason finds himself in the middle of their power struggle, Lucas appears to be a kind man with a dark side to his soul, and all that is known about Gracie is that the casting team is looking for an actress between the ages of 18 and 25.
If rumours are to be believed, The Last of Us Part III may not continue Abby and Leo's storyline after they set sail for the Fireflies off the coast of California, but their story is far from over.
If the next chapter of The Last of Us saga continues to distance itself from the original pair, the HBO TV adaptation could continue long after the stories of Joel and even Ellie are complete.
Naughty Dog has unveiled a huge post-apocalypse world full of fascinating characters, and five more newcomers await us The Last of Us Part III.
The most popular episode of The Last of Us' first season, the third, titled "The Long, Long Time," centred on Bill and Frank, has already proven that producers can tell compelling stories that don't involve Joel or Ellie. The future of The Last of Us TV series may not be as uncertain as it seems.
When We Can Expect It
As of right now, fans are still waiting for the release of the second season, with no exact date set. It's too early to talk about the release of the third instalment of The Last of Us TV series.
