The storyline for the upcoming third season of the popular series “The Last of Us” will concentrate on the character Abby, rather than Ellie, according to showrunner Neil Druckmann.
I can`t believe they let us structure the series this way. I mean, we just finished the second season, and the main character of the third will be — attention, spoiler — Kaitlyn [Dever].
The series, an adaptation of the video game “The Last of Us,” premiered on January 15, 2023. It has been well-received, with users on IMDb rating the show 8.7 out of 10, and visitors to the Kinopoisk website giving it 7.9 out of 10. The release of the second season is scheduled for April 13, 2025.
Data suggests a decrease in viewership compared to the first season. Previously, it was reported that the final episode of the second season garnered 3.7 million views on its premiere day. This marked a 30% drop in viewership compared to the second season`s first episode, which attracted 5.3 million viewers during the same period. In contrast, the first season`s finale was watched by 8.2 million people on its premiere day. Overall, the show`s continuation appears to have a smaller audience, dropping from approximately 37 million viewers per episode for the first season to 32 million for the second.
