The Last Of Us Season 2 Isn't Delayed Yet, But Could Be Soon
Writing is paused on The Last of Us Season 2 for HBO, but showrunner Craig Mazin is hopeful that the new season won't be delayed due to ongoing Hollywood strikes. Speaking to Deadline, Mazin said the production timeline hasn't been shifted enough yet to cause a delay, but «we're getting pretty close.»
«We had a little more flexibility I think than normally just because we had to wait a little bit longer anyway to line up production with the weather. A lot of what we do is outside, and so we had a schedule that weirdly hasn’t been immediately impacted. But we're getting pretty close; wе can't keep our original start dates forever obviously,» he said.

The big Hollywood writers' union, WGA, went on strike on May and there is no end in sight as of yet. The actors' union, SAG-AFTRA, began its strike on July 13. Writers and actors are striking for better pay and residuals, and protections against the rise of artificial intelligence, among other things. It is expected that a number of film and TV projects will be delayed due to the strikes.
«If these strikes go much longer we inevitably will have to push and that hurts us, and it hurts the audience, and it hurts HBO,» Mazin said. «We all, everybody wants to get back to work; I think everybody that's actually doing the work, including the network people who are with us on the ground, I think everybody just wants to get this solved. So fingers crossed.»
