At this point, it might just be tradition thatThe Last of Usleaks early. Several years afterThe Last of Us Part IIgame was spoiled before its release, theSeason 2 finale of the HBO adaptationwas uploaded early on streaming. The latest mishap also keeps up the trend of HBO shows leaking early, including select episodes of Game of Thrones and its prequel,House of the Dragon.
A Reddit user recently noticed that The Last of UsSeason 2, Episode 7 was available to stream on Apple TV well before it is set to premiere on HBO and Max this Sunday. It did not take long for TikTok users to record parts of the finale and upload them onto the platform, before they eventually made their way to X (formerly Twitter). Yes, the leak is real, and for those who want to avoid spoilers, they should probably keep off social media until the finale is released officially. The stunning development will likely see HBO and Warner Bros. copyright strike the leaked footage. However, scrubbing things off the internet is easier said than done, especially for one of the most popular shows on the air right now.
‘The Last of Us’ Is Being Review Bombed for a Horrible Reason
Fans have turned against ‘The Last of Us,’ but it’s for a very upsetting reason.
Fortunately, those who have played the game already know what will likely happen inThe Last of Usfinale. That said, the HBO adaptation, created by Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, tends to makekey changes from the source material. Those who are going into the finale blind still run the greatest risk of getting spoiled, but longtime fans of the franchise will still want to steer away from spoilers. After the heartbreaking flashback episode featuring Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), fans are expecting the latter to tap into her dark side inThe Last of UsSeason 2 finale in her quest for vengeance against Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).
How Many Seasons Will ‘The Last of Us’ Have?
In the middle of the second season, HBO renewedThe Last of Usfor Season 3. After the announcement, most fans assumed it would be the final chapter in the post-apocalyptic story, based on how the original video game was split up. However, showrunner Craig Mazinrecently revealedthat, after a shortened Season 2, the upcoming third season will likely run longer, and the show could be extended to Season 4.
“I think there’s a decent chance that Season 3 will be longer than Season 2, just because the manner of that narrative and the opportunities it affords us are a little different. The thing about Joel’s death is that it’s so impactful. It’s such a narrative nuclear bomb that it’s hard to wander away from it. We can’t really take a break and move off to the side and do a Bill and Frank story. I’m not sure that will necessarily be true for Season 3. I think we’ll have a little more room there. 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.”
Is HBO risking the possibility that they are stretching out the story? Time will tell, but asThe Last of Ushas proved time and time again, there is more than enough material expand upon from the video game franchise.
