'The Last of Us Season 3' confirmed for 2027: Major cast changes and new focus on Abby
'The Last of Us' season 3 release
In an interview with Variety, Casey Bloys, the CEO of HBO, revealed that the showrunner
Craig Mazin
is currently deciding the fate of the series, whether to end it in one extended season or divide it into two. 'The series is definitely planned for 2027,' he said, before adding, '[Creator] Craig [Mazin] is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season. It hasn't been decided yet, and I'm following Craig's lead on that."
However, certain changes would be that the third season would move forward without the fan favourite actor
Pedro Pascal
, as his character unfortunately had to go through death, and the co-creator
Neil Druckmann
won't be joining the team as well.

About co-creator Neil Druckmann
'I said to Craig, 'What do you want to do next?' And 'Last of Us' was what he wanted to do. That's what was most important to me, Craig's creative excitement about the show. It was fantastic to have Neil involved. A lot of people don't realise that Neil has a full-time job creating video games and running Naughty Dog,' Bloys said in the interview.
'It's a really big job that he's got. So I understand why he needs to focus on that. But I believe he's given us a good blueprint with the show. And obviously Craig is a pro, so I think we'll be in excellent shape. I'm not worried at all,' he further concluded.
As far as season 3 goes, it would focus more on Abby's character, who would become the central character in the second half of the game, while Ramsey's character would be reduced.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga reveals regret over trimming Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal's runtime by 7-8 minutes
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, director of the blockbuster 'Animal,' regrets cutting seven minutes from the film's theatrical release due to pre-release pressure. Despite the film's success and runtime exceeding three hours, Vanga felt the missing scenes impacted the film's depth. He hoped to restore them for the Netflix version, but the OTT release remained unchanged. Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's Animal may have turned out to be one of the most talked-about and commercially successful films of 2023, but the filmmaker still carries a tinge of regret when it comes to its final cut. In a candid revelation he had with his Arjun Reddy actor Vijay Deverakonda and director of his upcoming film Kingdom Gowtam Tinnanuri , Vanga admitted that he was pressured into trimming the film's runtime just days before its theatrical release, and he continues to feel the loss of moments that didn't make it to the big screen. Speaking about the process, the Kabir Singh and Arjun Reddy director shared,'What happened was, the first cut of Animal was 3 hours and 45 minutes, and the next cut—my satisfactory cut—was 3 hours and 30 minutes I came under pressure seven days before release, I edited out like seven minutes.' While the theatrical version of Animal was still over three hours long, the director said that watching it in theatres for a week made him realise what he had sacrificed in those final few minutes.'It was a good cut,' he admitted, 'but I regret it.' The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer was known for its intense emotional core, stylized violence, and complex father-son dynamics, all of which struck a chord with audiences and sparked countless debates online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walmart Cameras Captured These Hilarious 20 Photos Undo Yet for Vanga, a few more scenes could have offered an even deeper exploration of the film's themes. As for redemption, the filmmaker revealed he had hoped to revisit his original vision when preparing Animal's release for Netflix.'I wanted to add seven more minutes to the Netflix version. Even if I didn't finish it in 3.45, I finished it in 3.30,' he said. 'I regret that a lot.'But when the film was released on the OTT platform it was exactly the same length as it's theatrical release. Animal turned out to a major turning point for everyone involved in the film from Ranbir Kapoor to Bobby Deol to Triptii Dimri. The film minted over Rs 550 crore at the box office and it's sequel Animal Park is one of the keenly anticipated film which is expected to release in 2027.

Kiss cam scandal: Astronomer teams up with Chris Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow; drops satirical video
The American actress Gwyneth Paltrow was featured in a Astronomer video following Coldplay kiss cam scandal In a bizarre twist to a corporate scandal, American actress Gwyneth Paltrow has appeared as a temporary 'spokesperson' for tech company Astronomer. This comes days after the Astronomer CEO and HR head resigned following a viral kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert. The video was posted on the Astronomer's X account. It shows Paltrow answering mock questions from the public, poking fun at the company's sudden fame after its top brass was caught in an apparent affair. — astronomerio (@astronomerio) However, netizens were quick to point out that the Coldplay concert where the incident occurred was headlined by Chris Martin, Paltrow's ex-husband and the father of her two children. The scandal began when Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and Head of HR Kristin Cabot were caught on the kiss cam during a Coldplay show at Gillette Stadium on July 16. Their awkward, panicked reaction quickly went viral on social media. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even called them out mid-show, joking they were 'having an affair.' Both Byron and Cabot resigned from their positions following the incident. In the video, Paltrow was seen wearing a light blue shirt and seated in a plain corporate setting. Paltrow opens the video with, 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Proudly Stands By Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer.' The background music and format seem corporate in style. But the tone shifts quickly as a question flashes on-screen: 'OMG! What the actual f**k.' Paltrow replies, 'Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.' She continues, 'We've been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation,' before smiling and adding, 'As for the other questions we've received…' Another query appears: 'Q: How is your social media team holding—' before Paltrow jumps in again: 'Yes! There is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event this September!' She concludes, 'And now, we'll return to doing what we do best... delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' While the video is being praised by some as clever marketing, others are calling it a desperate PR stunt to deflect attention from the viral scandal. Astronomer's new interim CEO, Pete DeJoy, addressed the controversy, writing: 'The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.'
