The Last Of Us Season 2 Will Almost Certainly Delay Filming Due To Strikes, Writer Says
1 min read
HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 is likely to see a delay to its production schedule due to the ongoing Hollywood strikes. Showrunner and writer Craig Mazin told Entertainment Weekly that people working on Season 2 in a “below-the-line” capacity are still plugging ahead, but actual filming cannot begin until the writer and actor strikes are resolved.
“To the extent that we can keep anybody below the line working, that’s fantastic,” he said. “I think it’s becoming essentially a near certainty that we won’t be able to start [filming] when we were hoping to start, which is upsetting. We are all raring to go. This is what we are born to do. This is how we not only choose to live our lives, but I believe [how we] are compelled to live our lives. Otherwise, why the hell would we do this insane job? I can assure you it’s not for money.”
Before the onset of the strikes, HBO management said The Last of Us Season 2 would arrive in 2025. What effect the expected delay in production might have on the release date is unknown.
