The Last of Us: HBO has ordered a second season

The Last of Us adaptation series renewed by HBO.

While the first two episodes of The Last of Us drew almost 30 million viewers, HBO decided to renew the series for a second season. Based on Naughty Dog (Sony Interactive Entertainment/PlayStation Studios), The Last of Us takes place twenty years after the destruction of modern civilization. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to get 14-year-old Ellie out of the oppressive quarantine zone. What begins as a small job quickly turns into a brutal and harrowing journey as they both must cross the United States and depend on each other to survive.
