　　"In the year 2023? What season are we in now? We're getting into spring, yes there is a chance. Yes," he quickly replied. Production of Season 1 began in 2021, with the first episode wrapping up in August of that year. There was so much that went into this first season that even if it started production this year, it's up in the air if it would be released next year.

　　Season 1 has all of the events of the first game with Season 2 possibly taking on the complete second game, but by comparison, The Last of Us Part II is almost double the length in terms of story. There's also a lot of story to tell as Parts I and II have five years of time between them, but that hasn't stopped the show's creators from dropping hints of things to come, like the possible Dina cameo in Episode 6.

　　HBO's The Last of Us airs on HBO Max on Sundays at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET, with the Season 1 finale airing on March 12.
