The Last Of Us season 3 coming soon? Here's everything you need to know about Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey's show

Season 2 of The Last of Us , starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie, wrapped up today with its gripping seventh episode—and it did not disappoint. While some fans of the original Naughty Dog game took issue with certain changes and others still favor Season 1, there's no denying that Season 2 delivered even more emotional weight—especially with the heartbreaking loss of Joel and its aftermath. With the finale now aired, fans are eagerly asking: Will there be a Season 3 of The Last of Us? The answer is Yes. HBO has officially renewed the series for a third season. Is there a release date? Not yet. The streaming platform hasn't announced a release date for Season 3. However, given the two-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2, a 2027 premiere seems likely. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Taytay: Here's How Much Dental Implants Really Cost In 2025 Dental implant | Search Ads Learn More ALSO READ: Trump kicks off Memorial Day with controversial rant by ripping into 'decrepit corpse' Biden What Is The Last of Us About?

In fact, showrunner Craig Mazin recently said that they won't be able to finish up the story with the third season alone so a fourth season is in the lineup too. In an interview with Collider, Mazin stated, 'But certainly, there's no way to complete this narrative in a third season. Hopefully, we'll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That's the most likely outcome.' ALSO READ: Memorial Day 2025: What's open and shut in US? See which stores are operating today Bella Ramsey subjected to online hate Bella Ramsey has been a constant target of trolls following the release of The Last of Us Season 2. Noted for her stunning performance at a young age, Bella Ramsey has recently become the target of severe internet hatred, particularly since playing Ellie in HBO's The Last of Us. Bella Ramsey has faced constant harassment on platforms such as Reddit and X despite getting Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. The second season draws from Part II of the video game series, set four years after the events of the first game. It portrays Ellie as older, tougher, and physically stronger. At 21, Ramsey has faced intense online criticism and mockery from some fans who argue she doesn't closely resemble the video game version of Ellie. Bella Ramsey getting trolled Ramsey started facing online criticism ever since she was announced to portray Ellie, a role deeply rooted into the LGBTQ+ storyline of the famous game that has been adapted by HBO for its series.

Bella Ramsey, who rose to fame at the age of 11 for her portrayal of the fearless Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones, has continued to grow up in the public eye. Her role as the host of a series based on one of the most beloved video games has, however, made her a target for criticism. Much of the backlash—driven largely by far-right circles and online communities often referred to as the "manosphere"—centers on Ramsey not conforming to traditional standards of beauty or conventional expectations for female leads. Online trolls frequently circulate doctored images and AI-generated edits of her, promoting women they deem more stereotypically attractive. Tensions escalated further as the show embraced the original game's LGBTQ+ themes. While Ellie's sexuality has always been a core element of the game's narrative, its on-screen portrayal—especially in a second season that highlights her romantic relationship—has provoked outrage among some viewers. Critics have labeled the series as 'too woke,' while others appear unsettled by the depiction of a queer protagonist who isn't presented through a lens of male objectification.

Bella Ramsey, who identifies as non-binary and has spoken openly about her experiences with anorexia, mental health challenges, and, more recently, autism, has chosen to step away from social media due to ongoing harassment. In an interview with The New York Times, Ramsey shared how the negativity began to take a toll on her well-being. 'It's the first time I've ever had a negative reaction to something. There would be times I'd find it funny. Then I'd get to the end of a 10-minute scrolling session, put my phone down and realize: Maybe that was a bad idea.' She has since deactivated her Instagram and Twitter accounts. Speaking with Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington, she explained, 'I've reached a point where I don't actually need this anymore. People know that a fake account pretending to be me isn't me.'

'I always knew that I'd [deactivate] it one day,' she said. 'It wasn't like this big, dramatic thing, but I thought with season two coming out, it would be better to just avoid Twitter and Reddit. Now I'm doing that, and everything's fine.' Despite the backlash, Ramsey remains deeply committed to her craft. 'If you don't want to watch the show because it has gay storylines or a trans character, that's your loss,' she told the publication. The Last of Us streams on HBO worldwide, and on JioCinema in India. Season two stars Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal, and Kaitlyn Dever. Two episodes are out now, with new ones released each week. Much like her character Ellie in The Last of Us, Ramsey refuses to be silenced or sidelined. Her strength lies in her defiance — a quality that makes her presence at the heart of the series all the more powerful.
