The hit post-apocalyptic drama series has already been confirmed for a third season, which will start airing on HBO sometime in 2027. That brings the total Emmy count for The Last of Us to nine, including its lone win from season 2. The Last of Us season 3 will see Kaitlyn Dever return as the Abby character and take center stage. While season 2 adapted the first half of The Last of Us Part II, season 3 will cover more of it. In other words, she recognizes the challenge of taking on such an important role and respects the work that’s come before her.
