More details about "The Last of Us" part 2
"The Last of Us" is based on a video game of the same name, exclusively released for PlayStation. The first season was based on the first video game, with the second season drawing inspiration from "The Last of Us Part 2," a video game released in 2020.
According to various sources, the story of the second game will be adapted into various seasons. "We will not say how many. But more than one is factually correct," said Craig Mazin, the series' co-showrunner. Seasons will likely be released with a two year gap in between each installment, a schedule that has upset fans but that has become the standard in the streaming era.
