Post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us has more to give with a second-season about to debut on Sky.
Life after the global pandemic destroys civilization has proved tough, but there are still some survivors including Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey).
Their fight for survival continues in season two, in a world that has become even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
Based on the video game of the same name, the show was created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.
Mazin said: “We approached season 2 with the goal of creating something we could be proud of. The end results have exceeded even our most ambitious goals, thanks to our continued collaboration with HBO and the impeccable work of our unparalleled cast and crew.
“We look forward to continuing the story of The Last of Us with season 3.”

Joel and Ellie have now returned to life in Jackson. But they find themselves drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
Fans of the show will be pleased to know that not only are there seven episodes of the new season but there are already plans for a season 3 and possibly a season 4.
Mazin and Druckmann have said there are more seasons in the pipleine. Mazin told Sky: “We don’t think that we’re going to be able to tell the story even within two seasons [2 and 3] because we’re taking our time and go down interesting pathways which we did a little bit in season 1 too.
“We feel like it’s almost assuredly going to be the case that – as long as people keep watching and we can keep making more television – season 3 will be significantly larger.
“And indeed, the story may require season 4.”
