HBO's excellent adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us doesn't have a definitive end in sight, but «it's currently looking like four seasons» will be needed to tell the tale as we know it.

This mostly lines up with what showrunners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin have previously said, and so it seems we can look forward to more gory goodness in the years to come. Season 2 kicks off in April, and if you thought the first lacked infected, more Clickers have been confirmed, which should add some more action to the dramatic, slow-burning series.

Excited for season 2 but curious how they expand it. More Abby and co moments. More flash backs of Joel? More WLF vs Serpahites? More Lev? Endless opportunities for expanding the story in interesting
