HBO’s The Last of Us TV series will not be released this year. HBO content boss Casey Bloys said during an interview with Deadline that he expects the show to premiere in 2023.
“It’s not going to air in 2022; they are still shooting in Canada. I imagine you will see it in ’23,” Bloys said. “I have seen some early episodes and I’m very excited.”
The series is written in part by Craig Mazin, who wrote HBO’s acclaimed Chernobyl miniseries. Bloys said Mazin is a “fantastic writer and director,” noting that what Bloys has seen so far of The Last of Us “looks amazing.”
“I’m excited for it, but it will not be in ’22,” Bloys said.
HBO’s Last of Us TV series has received a lot of hype, but Bloys doesn’t like the idea of people calling it “the next Game of Thrones.”
“I’ve been here long enough that I’ve been through, what’s the next Sopranos, what’s next Game of Thrones, now what’s next Succession. There is no next Game of Thrones,” Bloys said.
The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Gabriel Luna plays Tommy, while Nick Offerman portrays Bill. As for the game series, a Last of Us remake is reportedly in the works for PS5.
