The Last of Us Season 3

Casey Bloys from HBO indicated that season 3 of 'The Last of Us' is expected to conclude the series. The upcoming season sees Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) taking a central role, continuing the post-apocalyptic drama. Season 3 began filming in March 2026 and is expected to air in 2027, with returning cast members Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced, along with new additions Jason Ritter, Patrick Wilson, and Clea DuVall. Jorge Lendeborg Jr. replaces Danny Ramirez as Manny due to scheduling conflicts.

Baldur’s Gate Adaptation

Mazin's 'Baldur’s Gate' series will be a sequel, set after the events of 'Baldur’s Gate 3'. Neil Newbon, known for his work in 'Baldur’s Gate 3', encourages fans to trust Mazin's vision. Despite concerns about adapting the game without Larian Studios' involvement, Newbon emphasizes Mazin's proven track record, citing 'Chernobyl' as an example of his writing prowess. He hopes fans will allow the creators the space to develop the show without premature criticism.

HBO suggests the series will likely conclude with season 3, aligning with Craig Mazin's vision.

A release date is not yet available, as Craig Mazin will begin work on it after completing 'The Last of Us'.
