What to Expect in Season 3?

The third season will likely focus on Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever. The Season 2 finale showed events from Abby’s point of view. This included a flashback to Seattle Day 3. Season 3 will probably cover the same three-day period. However, it will be shown from Abby’s side, leading to a key scene in a cinema. This mirrors the structure of the video game The Last of Us Part II.

Filming

Some parts of Season 3 may already be filmed, though this is not confirmed. The production team already has Seattle street sets built. This could help speed up the process. But creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann still have many parts of the story to explore.
