In a long-awaited update for fans of the critically acclaimed series, “The Last of Us,” co-showrunner Craig Mazin has revealed that production for the highly anticipated second season is on the verge of resuming. The news comes as a breath of fresh air for enthusiasts who have been eagerly awaiting further developments in the series.
Mazin shared this exciting update on Threads, expressing his pride in the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and its members and his eagerness to dive back into the world of “The Last of Us” once the strike officially concludes.
“The strike has not yet been officially lifted, but the second it is, we will spring into action!” Mazin enthusiastically declared. This revelation comes on the heels of his co-showrunner Neil Druckmann’s earlier announcement that all the scripts for season 2 have been meticulously outlined, signaling that the creative groundwork is firmly in place.
However, there remains some uncertainty surrounding the precise nature of the production work set to commence. It’s important to note that Craig Mazin’s reference pertains solely to the resolution of the writers’ strike, with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes still awaiting a satisfactory resolution.
The resolution of these strikes is pivotal for the seamless resumption of filming for the next season. The return of beloved actors like Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, who play pivotal roles in the series, hinges on the resolution of these strikes.
“The Last of Us” Season 2 is poised to adapt the gripping narrative of the second game in the series, “The Last of Us Part 2.” Set several years after the harrowing events of the first game, the story continues to follow Joel and Ellie as they navigate the haunting aftermath of their journey, including the traumatic events at the Santa Barbara Hospital.

Excitingly, the new season will introduce a host of new characters, some of whom may have already made a subtle appearance in the narrative. Among the most eagerly anticipated additions is Abby, a character of immense significance to fans of the game.
Casting for this pivotal role appears to be near completion, promising that an official announcement may be just around the corner. As fans eagerly await further updates, the impending resolution of the WGA strike marks a significant step forward in bringing this highly-anticipated season to life.
